Interested in getting a job in Oil&Gas Industry.

Well, good interest.

Oil & Gas industry is regarded as one of the highest paid industry.

I'm working with a travel agency and I'm dealing with sales from Oil & Gas companies.

Got to know many of them - engineers, and they are earning on average RM 5000 above a month.

Managerial level pays about RM 15,000 per month.

Example, a Rig Manager can pull in an income of RM 17,000 a month in this company I know. WOW!.. Impressive, thats like more than my one year salary.! smile.gif

But, think of it.

Bring a rig manager, you need to take care of an offshore rig of more than 500 people.
You need to ensure the safety, their traveling needs, their trainings, their well beings in general.

Any problem is YOU only. SO why the high pay? There is a HIGH Risk.

Even those working on the rig. They can pull in RM 500 average a DAY! I mean a DAY!... Wow... impressive huh..

phew.. nice huh.. so go.. work with Shell, or ExxonMobil.. haha

You re right about that. but, look at their working contract.
permanent or just direct contract.
usually, the higher income from the direct contract (e.g: 2 years contract, if needed will continue)

Most of people want to enter this field but lack of knowledge about this field. Not all people suitable this field, you need scarify your personal life, it is no life in offshore.

Agreed. But most of my colleague said they work offshore for a short time period only.

Collect more money in less working days..
