IMO its a very good industry to get into as you will end up working all over the world, i currently have friends working in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Kazahkstan, Holland etc etc The money can be awesome once your qualified and you get a good variety of work.

In the whole time i have done this i have NEVER seen a job advertised for trainee's so its a very rare chance. It can be dirty hard work at times so no point in thinking if your a bit wimpy lol

Good standard of education, including 5 GCSE C grade passes in English, Maths and
Science preferred.

Chances of getting a job with no C + passes in the above would be quite low I'd assume?

Ben, is the work quite hands on? Our chief at work was saying today that his son is having trouble finding work after college as he wants to go out and DO something rather than just go to uni (which the job centre are pushing him to do), or end up stacking shelves or being sat behind a desk. Something like that looks pretty good for him.

As for the nuclear police, I think I found myself a new career :d

Actually, if its not too much to ask. What kind of salary would be typical of someone working for OCEONEERING?

I have 7 GSCE C and above, plus an NVQ motor vehicle and Communication, Application of Number at Level 2 for Advanced Apprentice and ICT at Level 1. Aswell as soon to have Carpet Fitting acadamy certificate for carpet fitting (Lol!). And also a clean licence of 4 years.

Jack- Yes its very hands on but you do need to be quite switched on for the theory but its not that bad, the courses are usually 2-3 week intense courses but that would usually be 1 a year-ish.

My friend who works on and off for oceaneering earns around £30-35 an hour depending if its onshore/offshore etc.

Wowzers, that would be a dam good wage!

I was watching bruce parry tonight and he was with a fishing family in Alaska. they go out for just 3 months of the year and clear a couple of million of dollars with what they catch! Then they just relax for the rest of the year.

Jack
27-01-11, 11:58 PM
$500,000 in 3 months they were making. The fcuk off on holiday to Hawaii!

Like bar owners in Ibiza... theres only any real trade to be done from June to September. By October everywhere is boarded up and the girlie who owns Cafe Del Mar is back here in England for the winter!

I meant annual salary? I earn more than that somedays, but I dont work many hours.

Ben
28-01-11, 05:45 PM
for oceaneering themselevs probably not too much but in the industry when your qualified, anything from £50-150+k a year depending where and how much you want to work.

Its hard to calculate a pa salary as most jobs are day rate or weekly rate, readily earn £350ish a day or average about £1200-1500 per week.

If you earn more than £35 an hour then you are earning the same.

No, i only work 2-3 hours a day some days. And £35 and hour would be a pretty good day for me anyway.

i've looked into that about a year ago when the company i worked for went bankrupt. but the new owner offerd me a job, so didnt do anything with the ndt jobs.

but i just did a quick google (the current company i work is moving 150km from my home, they offerd me a job there, but it never hurts to look around..) and there are loads of trainee vacancy's overhere.
I've always wanted a job that took me over the world.

Ben
28-01-11, 06:39 PM
Joop In NL there is loads of work! The company i work for have offices in Breda and Botlek.

Try AIB Vincotte, A+ (RTD), or SGS they are the main players over here. Our office in Antwerp take on loads of trainees every year.

I see these guys sat in the cabins not doing much until an outage then they will do testing at stupid o clocks

I must admit, it is very tempting. But I don't think I could disrupt everything at the moment. I just bought a new van for work, and now on 22k a year, which I think is very reasonable for 21. And will double in about 2 years.

I've got an appointment with the mortgage advisor next Saturday, so if he disappoints me I might look at a career change!

Earning 22k a year, unless you have 50-60k for a deposit you will be disappointed.

Yep, good luck getting a mortgage of over £80k on a wage of 22k a year - I struggled to find anything suitable for a combined income of almost £60k :(

29-01-11, 09:25 PM
I bought my house 5 years ago my income is/was about 35k a year, i put down 30k and struggled to get a good mortgage. A Friend has just bought a house in the same area on the same money, he had to put down 50k to get anywhere near an offer for a mortgage.

Bollox to putting 50grand down on a house,just rent till it all gets better.Thats absolutely ridiculous,you would never see that money ever again,all your hard earned money over a number of years.Bullshet

If you want to see your money again you simply sell the house, once your on the property ladder all house prices are relevant if you move. As for renting if i wanted to rent a 3 bed de-tached house where i am it would cost me between 7-800 pounds per calender month, my mortgage is less than that, people that rent are either stupid or have no savings thats my opinion, and i want to pass something on to my kids later in life either that or spend it on cheap cars and fast women:tard: .

This is me,and how the hell am i ever supposed to save money,when after all is paid at the end of the month we're left with hardly any disposable income.This sort of thing has been covered many times on here,and basically,you either live on bread and water and heat and light by candlelight for a couple of years and save like buggery,or you just stay as you are,as its nigh on impossible to save and rent at the same time,while having some sort of half decent lifestyle at the same time.
In 2007 we could have got on the property ladder with a 100% mortgage for £130,000.Round here that would have got us a house on a council estate,so declined as whats the point in paying to live somewhere you dont want lol
Now, for £500 rent we have a massive garden,garage,2 bedroom semi detatched bungalow with a conservatry.
Yeah we have spent thousands renting but were in a very very nice area,i'd love to own my own house someday but in the current situation cant see that happening for a long time

I shall see how it goes, I'd be surprised if I got above 80k like you said Jack. But I will have a reasonable deposit when it comes to moving out. I have 14k now. But hoping to have 25-30k by April 2012. Which is a reasonable target.

You could build a good fiesta turbo for 14k..........lol

Then I can beat every Nova in a head to head down the local high streets!

But seriously, it's unbelievably hard not spend the money on a car. I've even looked at a Noble! Which was cheaper to insure than my Fiesta:wtf:

Have some rep too, for the awesome rs turbo related comment, that provoked me to keep on rubbing the Ford goodness in on a Vauxhall related forum.:thumb:

Ahhh massive deposit will help a lot. But feck me, 10-15k between now and April next year, you must either be earning a lot or spend nothing lol

The second one Lol. Last year I earnt 17k, and I put away and banked 13 of it. Fortunately for me I live at home, and pay no rent, for the simple fact I save all my money to move out.

Trust me draper, if you lived where I do, you'd do anything to get out! But seriously, I used to get in with the bad crowd etc, and one day, I took a good look around, and just wanted to do something with my life. And I did, and never looked back.
