This comment cheezed me off a bit.

A recruiter who doesnt know the difference between quality and quantity.

Money and years of experience = quantity

Skills = quality

I will give you an example.

Dude with rov skills on only one/two types of ROV for 20 years has less quality than a dude with 5-7 years on multiple types of ROVs.

And there are malaysians withdrawing the usd1000 per day rate or similar rates but working in international projects. Not sure if any is in lowyat.

Degree/diploma are added skillsets to a person its how they use it = quality

Hello Everyone! I would like to hear your kind opinion about a matter;

I am currently in a Graduate Engineer Program in a well known local O&G fabricator, where i have the opportunity to experience working in various departments in 1 year.
At the end of this program, I get to opt for the dept to get into permanently (subjected to management and my performance too).
By now, among all the depts, I am very interested in Testing & Commissioning and Project Management.

Between these two, which one should be chosen for best career path?? I should decide by the end of this year for permanent designation. Appreciate your brilliant opinion!

With this fact i have to agree with you...

I agree, saw many people even my classmate

sound like you are working in a shipyard? i would say that go to project management, good exposure but work like cow.
Future is brighter i would say

No choice bro that's life...so terpaksa kita org built our own cable also...we use fiber optic punya.

Pakai flexible flowline lagi kuat bro

It is actually a fabrication yard where mostly topsides, jackets and modules are fabricated. Ships take only a small portion of the yard.
Thanks for sharing your view! But some say in the beginning of career, it is better to be in fully technical position before taking the managerial pos. They say you can be better than those who only being with the management from the start. I wonder how true this is??

I am not trying to sound like a grumpy old man but sayang, life is unfair. I dont see the point of us here circlejerking on these people that use 'cable' to be where they are. The discussion brought us nowhere except to the same very place we are right now.

The wayforward now is to build yourself your cable. Get in the industry from any means you can, you can try from the below; sub vendor company, small/medium oil and gas enterprise and build your network from then on. slowly but surely. Once you are up there, you have a firm grasp of understanding on the business since you went through greater experience than the 'fast-tracker'. And now you can start helping your family/distant relatives/your friend's son/ your classmates even that are trying to get in the industry.

btol tu. yeah some got connections, and yea i do envy them. but im not those super top CGPA students either when i was studying. but managed to get in this industry the hard way round.

and one thing the super duper top CGPA wont take is the low pay, high work load, and to mention the grunt, bone breaking work some requires you to do. so if you think you deserve more??well think again are you willing to lower some of your expectations to taste the sweet success later.

so anyone who thinks they deserve more then the other guy, prove it. at some pt ypur cgpa wont mean anything but by all means it will be a good platform to start when you start your very 1st walk into the working world.

Yes it is. now im sure you know everything about it.

Kind of...
