im gonna work as occupational diver after finishing my degree end of this year. is pursuing a career in OnG a good investment for my future? i heard ppl can earn upwards of USD1200...

...per day. damn.

not exactly rov pilot, but somewhere along that line la. deep sea diver? hehehe...

i am taking my human resource degree now (quite a ways huh?), and after finishing my degree i will bin it. and go to Australia, take Australian Diving Scheme Accreditation (ADAS), take IMCA membership, be a tender diver (at least USD150 daily rate), and advance, advance, advance.... to ROV pilot.

true, but being ROV pilot u need the experience diving for a few hundred hours. at least that is what my boss told me. btw, im working in a human resource firm which specializes in mobilizing ppl to work in offshore industries, with at least 5 years working experience in offshore work.

risky or not as far as the statistics are concerned, there are zero casualty because of accident in diving in malaysia for the past 10 years. yes, there are death, but because of foolhardiness and stubbornness. zero accident.

essentially yeah, that's their job. but what ROV does underwater is what exactly divers are supposed to do, be it salvage, putting on clamps etc. so the ROV operator's work is similar to a diver, albeit they did not dive, but the ROV itself dive. So the experience gained from diving beforehand is a must, or at least the basic idea of diving and what to do down there. at least that's what the job scope is, according to the manual i read in my office.

and ROV operators must take some courses to qualify as ROV operators. but what im saying is just the path divers had to take to be ROV operators. if ppl with mech eng degrees, i dunno la.. im business admin dgree la. dun care but engineering, let the ppl good in math take care of engineering

where got boredom? got naked girls for diver. if u die of boredom lidat i dunno la... if die of aids dun find me ah. hehehe...

got money when on shore go bandung indonesia party all night long, sleep, wake up n then party summore. dats the reason go work offshore. get money then party ahahaha...



for me, oil & gas field is tedious, but work hard when young, bear the boredom, and later when ur old and bothered, u can have enuf money to retire with financial freedom, provided u membanting tulang as hard as possible when u are young.
