Hi,
I've been trawling through the forum looking for a particular subject that seems to offer mixed opinions all round.
One thing that puts me off committing to the ROV world is t he portrayal of the trainee pilot job market.
One side of this forum states that there is a large amount of rookies and potential rookies (various competency) all jostling for their first position.
The other side states that there is a need in the industry for trainees as ROV companies grow and roustabouts tend to hinder rather than help ROV crews.
My question needs an honest answer.
If I complete all my relevant training (plus a couple of extras to sweeten the CV) am I going to struggle for work while my family eat gruel for a year?
Rookies in any industry always suffer with the not-enough-experience/need-work-to-gain-experience paradox. The help proffered on this forum regarding CV writing and distribution is great and has been appreciated.
But are there enough jobs out there??!!
