Is working on an off shore oil rig a good job for a robot?

>working a stressful, dangerous job trapped in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of manly working class men and their banter
Sounds like hell on Earth.

Merchant mariner robot here, if it's the same, you'll be trapped with outcasts of normie society.

sounds pretty dope
why not study first so you're an engeneer there
it would be lame if you burned and died tho

>Is working on an off shore oil rig a good job
Yes.
>for a robot?
You would most likely get bulled to suicide. It depends on who you are as a person, but if you describe yourself as a "robot" then you're most likely going to have a hard time.

Fucking hell no. First off, most offshore rigs don't take people who don't have at least some land based experience. Both drilling and service rigs. So you'd have to work on land for about a year first. Which is amazing pay, but fucking brutal work. Mostly the hours. When I did it, trainees were getting $27/hour plus overtime, and full benefits. Schedule was 16 hours per day 6 days a week. A crew truck would come pick you up at your apartment at 4am, you'd drive 2 hours to location, do 12 hour shift, and drive 2 hours home. Travel time was paid full rate, so everyday is 16 hours, even though it's only 12 hours work. It's extremely physical, and totally miserable. Outside, snow, rain, heat, whatever. Lifting heavy fucking tubing, or rods or whatever. And if you're scared of heights, you don't have a chance. Basically when I did land based a new guy trainee would average about $7,000 a month in net earnings. As you go up, floorhand, derrickhand, relief operator, operator - you get even more.

The offshore rigs are just as hard, and just as long days, but you live there for 6 months working, basically making the same as 12 months land based. But you need land based experience first. So, you'll have to go to Texas, North Dakota, Colorado, or Montana and work on a rig for about a year, and then apply for offshore. It fucking sucks, but it is insane money, especially if you can hack it. And you don't mind having no life at all. You'll be on overtime pay ($40/hour for brand new guy) by lunch on Wednesday every week. Good luck.

how do i get my foot in the door to begin with? i'm a neet with no skills

>Is a stressful, technical environment with long hours of physical labor worked side by side with manly men a good place for pathetic neets?

Petroleum engineer here. You would be laughed out of an interview.

Thanks for the reality check user.

You go in and apply. Apply online too, if you want. Just look up rig companies from google. You'll likely have to move to location if you don't live in an oil state. So, Montana, Colorado, North Dakota or Texas. If you do live there, just go in. It's a revolving door of manpower constantly, and if you pass a piss/hair drug screen, and a health exam they will take you no matter what.

We had guys regularly come in and do interviews in dirty farm jeans and hoodies, so it's not like the interview is the hard part. They know, though. They know the interview isn't the hard part, and they don't care about you coming to interview in a suit or anything like that. It's a man's job, it's very difficult, exhausting, and physical, and if you can last a year, you're way ahead of everyone else.

Average time for brand new worker to stay is 2 months.

It's a labor job. Skills/resume/experience not required. You're going to be a trainee, you'll get a green helmet, you'll be hazed and do all the bullshit. You literally just apply. Pass drug/health screen, and start asap.

>everyone here is a pathetic neet
haha look at this larping faggot

>Merchant mariner
How is it?
I'm a pasty nerd with an internet addiction so I'm just daydreaming about it but being on a boat sounds nice.

>oil rig workers are manly men.

So 30 year old divorced alcoholic boomers with beer bellies are manly now?

You might think that, but that is exactly what robots need in their lives. In fact, not being around such environments is usually the cause for their condition.

Agriculture is the ultimate robot job. The learning curve is steep and long, but if you start at a young age the older, experienced workers will teach you without getting mad at you for not knowing stuff.
I've done fieldwork a few times for a few weeks and those were the best weeks of my life. You, all alone, not a single soul for miles, your favorite music playing from the radio and wild animals doing their thing.
If you take on dirty jobs,that no one wants to do like greasing and cleaning, people will see you as a hard working man because all your clothes got dirty and greasy. And the pay is very good if you have all the driving licenses and operators certificates
Another robot job is trucking, but I've never done that before, will try it in the far far future when I'm done with agriculture

Literally my dream, too bad I'm not a US citizen.

Any other robot jobs to consider?

Well if you want to work with machines then get your certificates for wheel loaders, digging machines and other excavators
In Eastern Europe heavy machine operators are getting rarer, because everyone wants a comfy office job.
Oh and you can also try combines, but that shit is hard and the hours are just insane. I've heard the older guys work 20 hours a day at harvest time,sleep for 4 hours then they get right back to the field.

Agreed. I plan to become a farmer after college. My dad grew up on a farm and has 1500 acres to turn over to me if I want them. There's no way I'm sitting at a boring 9-5 desk job with a bunch of normie co workers and boss all day for the rest of my life.

That's basically what my work environments like, minus the manly men. They're replaced with old farts and migrant workers/spics.

I knew a few guys that actually had oil rig jobs.

They were all turbo normies and I hated being around them. Can't imagine a job where I have to basically live with them 24/7 months on end.

>be a huge mecha nerd
>cant neet anymore and have to find a job
>decided to get a license to operate heavy machinery because its the closest thing I can get to piloting a mech
>right now I make $25 hr operating small bulldozers and cranes

Consider trucking. The first year sucks but afterwards or opens up a good bit of opportunities. I pretty much exclusively drive at night and hardly deal with anyone that isn't just some bored cashier at a truck stop and I make about 55-60k a year.

Are you American or European?
I'm not a very "hands-on" guy so I'm worried that operating such a large vehicle might be difficult
Other than that the job sounds great though

That sounds very nice. But I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an owner. All the stress they have to go through, the veterans all have some kind of mental problems due to the stress. It wasn't that bad back in the day, but now with all the paperwork, unpredictable weather and the bitchy people who report you for having 6 blades of ragweed around your field...

You'll barely make ends meets if you plan on being a trad farmer and not working for some other company. Seriously, most of the revenues farmers generate is off-farm, and at that they barely break even. I can provide sources if you want.

What's better for a robot, trucking or security?

Look at the cluelessness of the people actually asking questions you fag

>the bitchy people who report you for having 6 blades of ragweed around your field

Can you educate me on what they could report you FOR, and to whom?

I guess "in what country" is an implicit question there too.

Data entry seems like very robot job, just filling in spreadsheets and shit from home
it seems almost too good to be true
