Also, like most of you GoM guys, I would like to work on a rig or drill ship as a DP . How many years of experience in the GoM on a OSV, Drill Ship, rig, etc, are needed in order to qualify for training in this much desired (and from what I have read here) wide open field?
And just in advance, Im not one of those snobby “kaadets”…so dont plan on ripping into me, c.captain.
The Marine Sciences degree is about the closest thing to a Geology, Oceanography, and Chemistry in case I have to go back for my masters if offshore doesn’t work out. Thats why I’m considering it over Marine Transportation.
