you will have to lay some money out,the survival is about 500 where you have to get out of a helicopter  underwater,and your medical probs 50-100,but the money you make if your game is 60000+ so it is worth it,and they do a drugs test so if you like to dabble give it a few months thats what i got told and its not like i was a drugy or owt lol

im a week away from 21 and bored.

currently a plumber ( for 5 year's)

work for us has slooowed right up im on call this week, and i finished at 3. nothing elce in! :undecided:

iv been looking on to other jobs, oil rigging etc and gas safe, but its finding the right company!

i would change career compleetly, but i can NOT have less than £26000 a year, as to financial commitments!

any one? :cry:

my mate does scaffolding on the rigs in the north sea he is on 280 a day,i have just passed my welding level 3 so he is trying to get me on doing pipe welding or underwater welding,why dont you try agency's that deal with offshore work the money is good but you do 2 week on 2 week off

Not every Job is 2+2 as i said Try Atlantic resourcing... There is a few companies in Aberdeen that now do a base package which includes Banksman or rigging as well as offshore survival medical and the Mist course which is required... Dont listen to people telling you to pay for these courses Most companies will put you threw them all mate... I have a few mates that have bought there courses and 2 yrs later still cant get work... In most cases offshore its luck or who you know...  A good Company to fire your cv in to would be RBG they do a lot of various mechanical and even plumbing offshore

thats fine!

To be making that kind of money he must be in specialist tools or high up in the office
