welding offshore?

[Matt G]

We've had a few offshore welders work in our shop and couldn't cut it. They were used to sitting around all day long and not having to "work." My old man ran one off because he refused to help him pick up a joint of pipe! He told my old man to get a helper to do it!! My old man said, "Well, you WERE my helper. You check will be ready on Friday and thank you for your service." I've been welding since I was 7 and could pass the 6GR by 15 and fit pretty damn well and hated every minute of it. Went to college and got an office job, now I spend all day dreaming of being back under my shield and welders probably make twice what I do now!! The info here has me seriously consididering rigging up again.
