sotaskimmer Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi all, I'm a soon-to-be PA graduate (March 2015). Ever since my paramedic days, I've always been interested in working off-shore in the oil industry. I realize that I most likely won't be a good fit as a new grad, but I wanted to take the time now to gather what info I could from 1st- or 2nd-hand experience here on the forums. Environmental conscience aside, what has been your impression of these jobs? Daily schedule/work? Benefits, pay? Ease of working with oil industry administration? Any information would be appreciated! I'm familiar with the long-term shift nature of the work, but I can't find out much else online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
