If you are an out-of-work welder, take a look at oil rig welding jobs. Is there any industry that's in the news more than oil work? The world has an unquenchable thirst for the slippery black stuff. Demand is expected to go no where other than up.
Think about oil rigs. The ones offshore are anchored to the ocean floor or are massive boats that float on the surface and are run by global positioning computers to stay in the same position. The one thing they all have in common is they are massive structures made out of metal. Metal that needs to be assembled and repaired. Much of the work occurs above the water line. Even these are well paid jobs usually in excess of $400-$500 per day.
The real money is made under the surface.
Underwater welders must learn special skills. They often stay compressed for weeks at a time instead of spending time compressing and decompressing each dive. They live in special pressurized environments so they can spend more time working. Due to the added danger, these jobs pay much, much better.
Many companies will pay for current employees to get additional underwater certification. The more work the company is qualified to do, the more jobs they will get so having certified underwater welders on staff gets them more work.

Get an Oil Rig Job With No Experience
Image by OZinOH via FlickrBy Dave BergerAre you laid off and don't know where to turn? Do you keep getting turned down for jobs because you don't have any special training? Are you not the type of person to go to college but still want to make a good living? Oil rigs are hiring. In fact there are more oil rig jobs than there are applicants, if you know where to look.
Did you know that most of the big oil companies don't do the actual drilling for oil themselves? They hire private contractors like Haliburton to actually do the work. That's the mistake most people make when applying for oil rig jobs. They apply at the wrong companies. Big companies like Exxon may have online applications, but they rarely have entry level positions because those positions are employed by the contractors.
So how do you find the contractors who hire the oil rig workers? You can spend hours doing research on the Internet but still wont know if the companies you come up with are hiring. Then you'll have to contact them one-by-one to see if they have any job openings. Some people will actually call the companies but most will send an email and lie to themselves that they really have tried to find a job. Most of the companies you come up with probably won't have oil rig jobs for workers with no experience because you'll most likely be thinking of only the big companies. Remember, the actual work on the rig is done by contractors. If you can't find them, you'll be wasting your time. Probably the only thing you will accomplish is to become more frustrated than you already are.
