4 Reasons Why Youth Should Consider A Career In The Oil Industry

A few seemingly irrelevant questions: Are you satisfied with your job prospects

? Are you ready to take on more? Do you think you're being treated fairly by employers at large? Do you think the oil industry is dirty and polluting?

Never before has an entire generation been so confused. There aren't any jobs, or there are jobs that I can't get; every job has been outsourced to China, and I hate my job.

*You would do well to do away with all of this. Impossible and arguably patronising as this may sound, but there are jobs all over the place even amidst the worst crash since 1929. One reason unemployment figures remain so high is the fact that we've gotten unrealistic when it comes to job expectations. People used to do what they love and call it a hobby; these days if people don't get paid a ton of money for something they would have done happily anyway, they say the world owes them a living.

*Fortunately, there are a few outposts that could remedy this situation. This article does not mean to belittle the very real hardships that many of us have gone through in the last few years, but at the same time there really are employers who'd take on fresh faces almost unconditionally and pay them a decent wage - provided that the other party is ready to reciprocate in kind.

*A lot of graduates frown upon the oil industry as "dirty", while saving up for a new car. In a similar vein, a lot of young workers bemoan the loss of menial labour positions to outsourcing, when "re-insourcing" is all the rage. There is still something to be said for solid, young local workers who speak the language as well as the customs, but then they are often too timid to take on novel opportunities other than the ones they're dead set on.

*The oil industry is hiring. They're looking for tough young people - the average age of their workforce is a mere 27 - who relish in new environments. They don't ask irrelevant questions, only that you stick to your post and ease yourself into a new life. And in a sense they are the pioneers of the 21st century, even though they've been doing the same thing for the last fifty years.

If you have ever wondered how they manage to extract petroleum in the middle of the sea, welcome to the brave new world of offshore oil platforms. You belong to one of the most open-minded generations in human history, and you live in by far the most interconnected world there ever was.

So instead of bemoaning this lack of opportunity and how it wasn't delivered to your doorstep via courier, Google up "offshore oil rig jobs". They are hiring, they let you live a decent life and save up, and they actually value your youth. Look it up now.
