the training is obsolete and purely film showing lang kasagaran. when we had our training in my company grabe ka intensive, we even went to a helicopter crash simulator.
yup lucrative ang oilfield jobs, risky but it is worth it. my brother also works for an oil firm but dili mi pareha. he goes on a 28-28 rotation as an STS (safety training specialist) meaning he goes to work for 28 days then goes back to the country for 28 days rest and that is with pay.
sa mga nangutana what are the trades na pwede ninyo masudlan...actualy daghan kaayo.. try mo search sa rigzone.com, drillers.com, etc... it's not just petroleum engineers lang lang pwede makasulod but basicaly halos tanan as long as the right opportunity comes daghan jud.
the funny thing is i thought dako kayo ako sweldo sa una (in which sa ato na rate is dako jud) but i came across working with different people i learned that there are those nag sweldo ug US3000 PER DAY. naay mga pinoy earning US200-500 per day...heheh they dwarfed my rate out mao ng nangita kog opprtunity na makabalhin ug mas taas-taas na rate pud.
i suggest sa mga gusto mosulod sa oilfield search mo sa mga job portal sa mga oil companies, you'll be amazed.
