One down fall to offshore jobs is you miss a lot of things in your family and kids life... most only work 26 weeks a year but once you put in your years, you build up vacation to trim those 26 weeks down.
On call jobs are for a young guy because when you get in your 40s not many want to keep running like that.
Best advice I can give to any young guy starting offshore is to pay yourself 1st before you pay anything (retirement) it will take you a little while to build up to 100k but once you are in the 6digits your money grows 2 to 3 X's as fast!
If you pay your self you will retire with a lot of life in front of you. That was the best advice I was given by my step grandpaw who retired with Conco/philips (twice)
