Wiinnd: what are you currently doing now sir?

CzarChris: To be honest, I feel awkward when people call me sir , cos I'm still like a year away from my 30th birthday, but its all good
Well to answer your question, I co-run an engineering consulting firm, and I also lecture at a federal university in Nigeria.
No more unnecessary risk.

Osama10: This is my sixth year working offshore, it's ok but a very risky job.

Planning seriously about something else which is not going to keep me away from my family.

davide470: Did BOSIET in 2012, sponsored though. But at this moment, its gathering dust at home. Any help in this regard would not be bad

The major things I miss offshore are the beautiful nurses and the drills.

RedBenson:
Thanks for planning to resign so others can also have chance for employment. With bokus amount paid to oil workers, i do not see reasons why they shld work beyond 5yrs or at most 7yrs. You work, gather the necessary money and open your company and resign. Simple! As a blessed son of an oil producing state, i strongly believe God is gonna bless me with one soon and i cant work beyond 7yrs when i will resign and run my company.

Amusaopeyemi: Incase any of you is looking for a wife. I'm available

RedBenson:

U marry oil worker abi? See ur mouth. Ur boyfriend wey still dey hustle for Ikorodu, u no wan marry that one abi?

conyema12:

thank you. We have nothing more to do apart from pushing hard.

top10nigeria: The good thing about nairaland is you’ll never know me so I can write everything and not worry about my identity.
I work offshore and my Wife works offshore(Sub-sea Engineer). I work 2weeks tour while she works 4weeks tour.
The surest way of working offshore is to graduate first Class Engineering/Geo Sciences. My Wife had a first Class Chemical Engineering and Mine is Electronics. Production Oil companies won’t even invite you for Aptitude test if you do not have a 2-1 that is 4.0 and above. And now we have a lot of Nigerians with masters from UK, so its becoming harder for them to employ people with first degree. Now I am assuming you don’t have connections and your Parents are as broke as mine were when they were sending me to school. So that is one path to working offshore and I will call these people employed directly by the Oil companies as Level 1.
Another path is to be a Technical Non-Pro, eg. Cook, Secretary, medical, laundry, welder, painter, deck hands, etc… To make it easier, I will label this Level 2. Most of these people are on contract so they don’t get same level of compensation.
Eg. The average cook/laundry staff earns 840,000/yr
Average Technical Support eg. Pipe fitter/secretary/Welder etc will earn 4-8million a year
But the level 1 guys earn more.
Eg. Personally I earned a total remuneration of 32million last year and my wife Earned 23million last year. (I work for the majors while my Wife works for a Drilling Company – the majors(Exxonmobil / Total/ Shell / Chevron / Agip) always pay more than the drilling (Schlumberger / Transocean / Halliburton)
So the first thing I want those who want to work offshore to do is decide what type of job they want to do offshore. Do you want to be Level 1 or Level 2?
Personally, I have 15yrs of experience and I work in a production company so I am high paying. I don’t think there is anybody within my team including the 2year olds who earns a TR of less than 20million.
So I will encourage you guys to go back to your books and read them so hard.
For me the best part of working offshore is the 2weeks off. I will not transfer to the office for a 200% increase in wages and maybe its because I started working offshore when I was 18. Plus I work on measurement and control systems, so I don’t do any physical work like my folks in mechanical who have to work on pumps, so I am on the best job in the world right now. Also, the Time off allows me to spend time on my other endeavors and For me that is the best part of working offshore. Note: My Wife hates it, but because I am away half of the time, she is managing the job until she can go back to school for her masters.
I hope this adds a different perspective to the conversation.

Chrisbenogor:
Everything makes sense except this
32 - 15 = 17 ( so at least after NYSC)
17- 1 = 16 ( Finished Uni at 16 with 1st Class in Electronics Engineering)
16 - 5 = 11 ( 5 years to study Electronics Engineering )
11 - 6 = 5 ( got into secondary school at 5)
5 -6 = -1

Na why I fail for school well well , I know say na night school I go but no vex bros help me explain am.
