- If you're looking for a job there are hundreds of good paying good paying positions on oil rigs. Sherry Williams was at a Baker Hughes training rig with everything you need to know if you're interested.
I looove the oilfields, anyone can make something of themselves, just have to watch your buddys back, and work hard.
I’m 22 in Florida trying figure out where to start to try and get a job wherever I can with housing help do u have any tips?!
Hey, I live outside of the USA. How could I get a job on an oil rig or oil field as a chef or floorhand?
@@everoythomas4664 we don’t got chefs out here😂💅
@@moonnstars6883 you guys eat food straight out the can or living on ramen?
@@everoythomas4664 ramen boss easy food, we bring chicken pork etc. take turns on cooking.
No experience to be an unarmed security officer is $20 for 12 he shifts with OT. But no retirement, no benefits, and it’s awful.
Where
honestly if I didn't farm I'd do something like this honest folk trying to make something out of themselves and you get to work out on the ocean
In the 90s you could do that catching & processing pollock on the Bering Sea. But as companies bought one-another out, crewmembers lost much of their ability to choose a better paying boat once in Dutch Harbor.
$20 per hour? God, I thought it was far more than that! I've made that back then in the security field.
Exactly I am pretty sure they increase pay by now I mean hopefully because $15 they pay that at fast find restaurants
i make 20 per hour in uber sometime more
We get paid $40 per hour start here in Canada, and you get mid pay daily and LOA pay daily as well as lots of time and half overtime hours. So you make great money
Do you have to live close to an oral Drake or can you apply one that you don't live in the same state??
For personal reasons, I will not identify myself at this time, but I will ask for help on which position I can apply for and the average salary I should ask for, assuming that I am a recent graduate.
I am not North American, I am Brazilian in the process of qualified immigration to Canada, but I want to settle in the USA.
I have the following qualifications:
1. Associate Degree in Data Science (2100 hours).
2. Associate Degree in Mechanical Manufacturing (2700 hours).
3. Associate Degree in Industrial Mechatronics (2700 hours).
4. I only have 3 semesters left until I get my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (4700 hours).
5. Specialization in Welding Engineering (370 hours).
6. Specialization in Pipeline Engineering (400 hours).
7. Specialization in Engineering of offshore oil and gas structures (360 hours).
What position or positions am I eligible for in your country and what is the average salary should I request?
Thanks.
You're going to have hard time to get your certifications/validations ( almost impossible ), Try get job in "services" company first, they do third party job for the big oil holdings . You will need basic at first CDL/fork lift, CW, OSHA 40, ect... if you're really recent graduate there's zero chances of you have that many hours in real practice. No experience $120k Canadian dollars.
Apply with drilling company's, most of them have their own training rigs.
I am totally freakin wanting to do that. Oil industry hopefully I see you soon.
How you getting on?
@@perrymarshall8584 just find a oil company that is willing to train all certification ect your employer pays for don't waste money on this real world
@@georgecarrera18 yeh, apprenticeships seem to be the way forward. Tme for sore knees and a brown tongue.... 😂
@@perrymarshall8584 yup had done happen many times I worked out in West Texas
Because you said totally I’m gonna go ahead and say you wouldn’t make it out here
1978 I was 17 got on with a rig floor hand 20 months moved to derrickman , stayed with the driller for 8 years , he ended up becoming my brother in law , age 20 I went to drilling 1 year but drilling was not for me I like being in the Derrick , stayed a derrickman the rest of the time i worked on the rig , by 1986 oil field was so slow are rig was stacked in the yard . Back in 1982 they started up a program teaching guys how to become a roughneck , its a Joke . they have no idea what its like to Move the Rig spud in, run casing wait on cement , drill to bottom hole lay down , or change bits , trip for a bit cone , redrill for a cavin . the class with teach a basic tongue and chain hand . when a boom hits just show up at a gas station with a bag of clothing and good boots . a driller will be looking for worms.
How can I get a job here.
I agree, a start in work with no experience is the fastest way to learn laborious skills. You either fly or fall; trial and error.
I'm going for the course now I need connection so when I'm done I'm Gonna get a job,
@@luckyogbogu7977 Go door to door of Drilling company's , all the men I worked with are retired age im 60 , Best place to find a job in the oil field is West Texas or North Dakota .
@@JCcanU wow that's good to hear, but too far I'm in Nigeria
yes, the pogrom... the long, anticipated pogrom!
Progroms, progroms, progroms. It's all about the progroms.
@@ScurvyMcGruff lol for those that dont know what pogroms mean.
Where is this program located
Where is that?
Where is this from?
20 bucks a hour 🤣🤣🤣🤣
$20 for VERY DANGEROUS job. Lol
More like min $30. When your life & others at danger and job dangerous? Price is HIGHER.
*Fastfood, Panda Express starts out at $20 and not dangerous!!!
“Progrum”
I was going to point it out as well
Any job avilable for piping
20 dollars an hour? I wouldn't step foot on the rig for 20 an hour lmfl.
That's should be between $3000-$4000 take-home pay after two weeks on the rig with two weeks off. You should be able to tuck away a few hundred in stock-option purchases also each month which would add up after a few years.
12-hour shifts what's $240 a day no place to spend your money so the housing is free you save all your money
Im all in
Most legit tough guys can’t handle it let alone lady who went to night school to get out of real estate and “work hard” outside
I have two kids and live in South Carolina do you think it is a way they can help me find housing for me and my children so that I can go to lone Star college?
Good day thanks to info, can a senior person can apply on a offshore job with baking,caregiving and some cooking as my skills.more power,God bless.thank you.
Take underwater welding course, bruh. You will get much better salary from BH field worker
Or consider taking paramedic course. They ALWAYS hire medical professionals for their clinics on the rigs
Hi im from South Africa.. worked on a few Shut Downs at Chevron.. sold now became Astron in Cape Town.. want to relocate im a Mechanical Fitter looking for assistance...
How can we apply
How can I apply
$20 per hour? HA! Who’s dumb enough to give up their home life for that? BNSF, Union Pacific, Ingram Barge Co., almost every coal or limestone mine, Robinson Construction, Kirby Inland Marine... I could keep going. All of those companies either pay the same or more than that and they’re half the work, safer environments, and you can have a life outside of work. I’ve worked on 3 oil rigs and believe me when I tell you that’s not what you want to do. Leave oil rigs as a last resort if you can’t find anything else.
True I am a city employee and I make almost $40 an hour and I don’t do half the work they do.
@@charlenehall9152 what do you do?
It’s the over time that gives you money
Depends on the position. I assume you are only roustabout/roughneck. Drilling company man could make 4k per day.
It’s good if your single and want to travel on your time off
Am interested
I'm interest in that job how can join it?
Am in Ghana how can i apply
Where is this program located?
l like oil filed please give me a chance sir l m technical man
houston tx
At Dee's place
The name of the college was said here and then just google that name. :28
The women show up after the rig is built my men to tell them how it’s done and by who....
Take my advice don’t go near the oil field ever. I got in it out of high school pays good for a while but it’s boom and bust it always has been there’s a few that make it and get into upper management but for the most part it’s not good career it makes your life weird too I worked in it for 27 years i’m 62 now and I wish I never saw a rig
I'm interested in this work. I excel in every job I do, and they've all been physical. What makes you say not to do it if you put 27 years into it? I'm 28,you basically worked on a rig as long as I've been alive, so how did you put up with it for so long only to despise it?
@@marttram2183 did u ever get into it or closer to getting into it I’m 22, and really want to
@@RicardoSanchez-nr2vq no I haven't. Still in the same boat as I was a month ago. I'm a FedEx driver, but I used to be a UPS driver. Let me give you a suggestion, if you want a lot of money and top notch health benefits with eventually 7 weeks of paid vacation, sign up to be a UPS driver. They retire millionaires with a $5,000/month pension. Within 4 years you'll be making 100k+ per year. In 2 years you'll be making 80k per year. If you get in now you'll retire at 50 and literally be rich. Fair warning, it's a lot of work and long hours, but it pays very well.. I wish I wouldn't have left, but at least with FedEx I get home at a decent time
How are you lm a Zimbabwean and in my country we don't have a college that offers oil rigging courses so can you help me which college or. institute which offers those courses but very cheap at the same time

Sir I want job in oil and gas companies
I want job pls
I want join your organization
Was well paid 60’s - 80’s dwindling production & far too many people chasing too few jobs. World wide, supervisors tend to be Europeans or North Americans, doing the work TWN’s the cheapest of labour oil companies can find. The majority of personnel are short term contractors, so no benefits hire & fire. Oil & gas has never given anything away ‘don’t expect too much and you will never be disappointed’.
This is not equality, she is doing good job in oil rig and great man's work on taken out the oil
They say it’s great pay, but it’s not.. it’s low wage high risk and high sacrifice
What is the college name ?
Lets do it together!
Me too
You do brother ?
Do you hire people with non violent felonies?
Has anyone here ever worked for Harry Stamper? Asking for a friend
Lol those gloves are huge on her 😂. Progrum

Thank you

You can’t just work in the us. First thing…. Second, look it up on the fckn internet, its full of information. Idk how the hell you got the job on an offshore rig if you can’t even find one on your own. I’m dumb as shit and I did it
$20 an hour is very small..
Great job if your in your early 20s to help get you that down payment money on a house and start a family.
Omg 20 n hr I make more at the casino . Only work 7 hours n then hr lunch 5 days a week then I get to live the good life at the casino 🎰
Progrum

Try working on one and tell me that. Lol. I worked on an oil rig for 2 years and that’s the last thing I’d want to do.
Not as dangerous as you think it is
I'm from Sacramento California and I'm looking to upgrade my career do you need a GED for this or any type of diploma? Do they hire any felons???
They hire felons!!! Look into solids control companies for work.
They do the background checks and that takes one month, before they will let you start.
I want a job as assistant driller
@@SaxsonMunganga-bg5qv then start on the floor, work for 6 months move up

No offense but doubt you could physically handle the work.
A2Kaid lol dam
@{Yasenia} Did they do routabust or roughneck because if so that's really impressive, but we all know well and trully that there are no females doing that job
SHe forgot to say what role they had how convenient
Um 20 an hour this must be American dafuq its 39.50 as a floorhand in Canada atleast last job I seen for Akita in Alberta shows 39.50 that's not with O.T. which would bring it to 59.50$ an hour after OT 60+ hours a week , do the math lol I wouldn't mind working on a ground rig lol signing up for Akita in like 5 months from now hope I get in I wouldn't mind doing 72+ hours a week sign me up Monday to Sunday 14 hours a day im down
Heeeey 👋👋 i am like a mountain gorilla iam fast and strong I like physical work I need that job I want my mine focus on something let me in 😭😭
Mỹ Hoa kỳ . Việt nam drilling and rigs the rig
Put me where the oil at! If they get paid 5 grand a week on the ship for 3 months str8 that's 60 thousand the average person don't make 40 thousand dollars a year that's not a hard decision but they go for alot of convicted felons because they can stay in a secluded place for a long period of time yes I did my homework it's just hard to leave everything behind and go.
Just go wireline more money 💰

Serious question from a american-german: Why does someone get into a job in the oil-industry nowadays with outdated fossil fuels declining rapidly? It´s really interresting! Don´t you believe that in at least 10 years you will bitching around about loosing your job? Why don´t get a job at a more modern industry which will be there until u retire?
Because we make like 150 to 200 k a year if you saving Money in 10 years if we do loose are jobs we should be set for life with out a doubt
