About to start a totally new career on a Drillship working a month on, a month off. I have a son and partner so this has not been an easy decision but I'm excited.
I'm hoping that working Offshore will give me the balance I'm looking for without the risks associated with working for yourself. I don't think I could ever work a regular 9-5 mon-Fri with hardly any time off.
I worked for myself for over 10 years running a climbing/Mountaineering shop which was great for a while, sadly I had to fold it last year, I lost everything, and I mean everything. Your own business can be the best and worst thing in the world.
Being away from your home and family for 28 days, working 12hour shifts, 7 days a week isn't great but 28 days off to do what I want is great !
in search of balance…..
