[QUOTE=Bloodyshitcakes;115550]OSV companies say they don’t want me because of my unlimited license, they would rather hire the trade restricted licenses. They are scared that I’ll upgrade my DP and move over to the drill ships. Drill ships don’t want me because of my DP-1 license and lack of oil field experience. Shit![/QUOTE]
The boat companies are sick of training new third mates only to have 70% of them leave for drillships as soon as possible. But as much as they complain, they keep hiring young academy kids. The smaller boat companies (like Abdon Callias) are sick of hiring 1600 ton licenses only to have them leave for the big companies as soon as possible. I was able to find jobs in the bayou, but not the DP job I was looking for.
