My friend, Walter, told me about his world's most boring job with an oil & gas exploration company. He described it as boring only because all his colleagues are men. He said that even though he may be married, it would be good to work alongside women because men and women have different opinion and outlook and may offer points of view from another angle.
I guess it is because of the extreme environment that women prefer some other less demanding jobs or perhaps these companies are not willing to take a risk with female employees. Walter told me that work is very tough, especially when of-shore. Rules are very strict and they have to adhere to them at all times.
Walter is in-charged of Frequency Control Devices so he is sometimes on 24-hour call. He said that sometimes he has to be out at sea in the middle of the night where the winds are strong and bitter cold. He joked that a skinny person like me would be blown off the oil-rig easily. LOL
Well, Walter may have complaints about his job but of course that’s just one aspect of it. He, of course, forgot to mention his gigantic paycheck or the long holidays he enjoys each time he has served time off-shore!
