Discovering the Highest Paying Jobs on Oil Rig Offshore: Don't Miss this Video -

You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

dislikes are from feminists working in office jobs complaining about the wage gap

I am still amazed to think human could build these giant complex structures and place it in the middle of the sea

They money is good but it’s not worth it if you ask me. My husband used to work offshore for about 10 years. The weather and rough seas, being stuck in Mexico for 6 months straight not being able to come home or see him. Being in fear of pirates attacking his boat while he was out there, it was just so nerve wrecking!! And EVERYTIME he leaves you never know if he’s going to make it back. On his last hitch, when he was off for 30 days he put in for an application for an at home job, a week before he was set to return he got the job. THE SAME BOAT he was set to work on, (which he worked on for years SEACOR POWER) headed out a couple of miles from shore , hit some unexpected rough weather and the boat capsized! It brought us to tears because many men including his captain lost their lives and that could have easily been my husband! Had he gone back a week later.

Where’s the gender equality? 🤣

Literally no one thought life on an oil rig was luxurious …

My husband works in these conditions. The weather conditions has always stressed me. It really takes a lot of hardship and courage to work in such places and conditions.

The narrator describing the breaks made me laugh… ain’t no way in hell you’re gettin 5 breaks plus meal times 😂😂

Why no ladies 🤔

Hardworking men keep the world moving.

Worked in the Oilfields in Texas for a couple years… worked 12-hour days for weeks at a time. My longest hitch was 6-months straight. The money was great, but when your gone for such long periods all you want to do is spend the money when your home. I also missed out on a lot of milestones with my daughter. Years later I’m still trying to make up for all the lost time.

When I discharged from the military, I wanted to ‘get away’ but I wanted to work too. Ended up on semi-submersible for around 6 years. I actually loved it out there. If you’re lucky enough to have a good crew, it makes a massive difference. A lot of the guys I worked with were ex forces from around the world, so having that in common probably made us work better as a team. The gig was hard, but a lot of us still trained every day after work. Weights/boxing etc…

Did that for 10 years until our helicopter went down 35 miles offshore Louisiana coast breaking my back and retired me at 28. Great job with a bunch of crazy tough guys and few girls. I sure miss that job.

I was a cook on several rigs. It was tough. I've worked 12 hours a day. Away from my girlfriend at that time, family, and friends sometimes for 6 months. Longer if the weather is going to be bad. Because other shift of guys couldn't get on the Rig. A large Crane would transfer a group of guys from one rig to our main rig. Literally hanging in the air. But it was awesome to feed over a 1,000 men 3 meals a day, and putting out snacks for the guys. Also banking homemade pies, cookies, and cakes. Unfortunately, women wasn't allowed on the rigs anymore with men employees. Due to you know what was going on

It’s truly mind-blowing, seeing these massive structures & the people working on them! I used to have some friends that worked on these things. They’d go out for 2 weeks & come back LOADED w/ money! I wanted to do it too, but never did after discovering how they had to work out there. I worked at a steel mill, & decided I was better on dry land! 😁

Worked on one for 10 years. Paid off the homes I own. Made my Super healthy. Life is good due to the time spent. Now my work is split between office and field.

I am so thankful for people that work these dangerous jobs and for anybody that’s served in our military’s thank you‼️

One of the largest wave ever recorded was one that hit an oil rig in the North Sea. The battering they take from the weather is extreme. I used to load oil tankers off the Shetland Isles with North Sea oil. One such wave hit our ship on the dock which happened to be the largest ship in the world at the time. The weight of the ship and cargo and the dock it was tied to were in excess of 1 million tonnes but the wave moved the entire ship and dock with ease.

Having 3 weeks off for every two weeks of work is really good! We been fighting to get equal time off at where I used work offshore but we never had it. Our work schedule was 7 days work and 3-4 days off.
