I'm not racist I'm prejudiced. If I have to elaborate I simply put it like this. If there was a model of car that is 13% of the total cars on the road but responsible for 60% of the deaths on the road, would you buy it?
Rigs are very similar. My understanding of them is you only need a TWIC to hire on entry level. From there there are lots of pathways to decent money. Crane operator, tool pusher, mud engineer. I wish I had more info forvypu there but I'm on the boats that work with the rigs. My advice would be to look for roustabout or rig hand jobs online to get your foot in the door
No, there are tonnage requirements involved. A sailing license is different. I hold a 2nd mate unlimited. You have to have so much time sailing on vessels over a certain tonnage. I forget how much tonnage It's been a while. Also 1 8 hour day is a day of sea time. In the gulf we work 12 hour days and get 1.5 days for every day worked. You can not self document for your license. The coast guard requires a sea time letter from your employer stating how many days you worked on which vessels and the tonnage of each vessel.
3 years is the sea time needed for a license. I am referring to deck, I'm not sure of the time for engineering. You have licensed (mates/masters/engineers) and unlicensed (ordinary seamen/able seamen/wipers/qmeds. From the time you start working as an ordinary seaman you can be working towards your mates license. Some classes expire others don't, or have a longer time limit. You just start taking what you can while getting your sea time. You have to be an able seaman before you can hold a license though so I recommend doing that first then focusing on classes needed for the license.
You can work in the US or international with your mmc and twic. You just need a passport if you will be working international. If you want to work internationally you will most likely have to ship with a union. Seafarers international union an Sailors union of the pacific are the 2 big ones for unlicensed and there is a mates masters union but I forget the name. I have worked union and I saw a good bit of corruption. I currently work in non union in the Gulf of Mexico oil field.
If you want to see the world look into military sealift command. They go everywhere the navy does but they are civilians. Make loads of money with all the over time and you get a gs rating but they kidnap people. You may be gone 8 to 12 months at a time.
What I have told you is for entry level. You can expect to work 8 months a year and make 50 to 60 k. After 3 months you can upgrade to Able seaman this will put you in the 80k to 100k range working 8 months if you drop to 6 month you will make 60k to 80k. To get a license will take about 3 years (you need the sea time) and will cost you around 20k to 40k but it's a pay as you go and you do it while you are on your off time. No financing needed. It's not easy. The hardest part isn't the work it's being away from home.
At the risk of doxxing myself. You don't have to work internationally. I make over 6 figures a year and work 6 months a year. You don't need college, just classes and certifications. The first thing you will need is a TWIC, transportation workers identity credential. Google it, that should tell you how to get it. The coast guard won't talk to you without it. Your next step is to go the uscg national maritime center web page. You will need to get your medical certificate first. You will need form 719 k/e for entry level. Also a clean drug test. Now you will do your application 719 b. This gets you your mmc. Merchant mariners credential. You can now work offshore but most companies won't look at ypu until you have your STCW training. Total cost of everything so far is under 400 plus cost of physical and drug test.Your stcw training ranges from 700 to 2k depending what school you use. You can find accredited schools for the classes you need as well as checklists on the USCG NMC website. The stcw training takes about 5 days. After that you are ready to work offshore. There are a lot of domestic companies that work the oil field and windfarms. Good luck.
20 years ago I had a friend who was a handyman. I never asked what he made a year but I did ask what he got for some of his jobs. He got $80 per ceiling fan and $300 to install an electric water heater. There are a lot of people out there who are unable or to lazy to do basic home maintenance.
