They don't just take anybody for an offshore job; you have got to qualify. You have to have incredible grades in college – like straight A’s, or something – you have to be able to swim, be able to keep your head straight under dire weather and atmospheric conditions, and you have to be able to think fast. And that isn't even the half of it. Now this list of qualifications is something you want to memorize and see that you have covered if that is your dream indeed. I know I would.

Offshore oil drilling jobs constitute a whole industry on their own – and it is a professional industry at that. On an oil drilling rig, there isn't a lot of room for error. As a result all employees take their jobs very seriously, and you’ll see it the moment you try having a word with one of them. So if you don't consider yourself the serious type, you might want to look elsewhere for a job.

My brother works on an offshore drilling rig somewhere in the tropics. The jobs seemed kind of easy – there weeks on and three weeks off – until I paid him a visit. He told me I even got lucky to be allowed out there. When I saw how much work they had to do, I changed my mind about following in his footsteps.

It could take you a whole lifetime to prepare for an offshore job, and you’d still only be half-baked when you get called upon for it. It’s just that reality is always such a far cry from whatever simulation you could have undergone, you’d need a whole new orientation.

There aren't a lot of people who qualify for offshore oil drilling jobs. Before you go all spiked up and challenged about getting into that line of work, you might want to ask yourself why that is. The answer could really be an eye opener, and you get to know if that is indeed your calling. Agen Ibcbet
