Fuck!
Another thing I forgot to mention is the safety course you have to do to work offshore.
I'm pretty sure you have to do this no matter what country you work in.
Here in Norway it costs more that $5,000 to do it.
Good companies will pay for you to do it... But not many people are going to hire you if you don't have it (depending on the job of course).
So its a bit of a gamble. Do i pay for it and take the time off work to do it on my own time and hope that its an investment..... Or do I try to get a job without it and hope that Maersk will pay me to do the course.
This could be one of the reasons why I never got offered a full time job offshore. But I'll never know.
