Pros
good tools, pay is ok if your sent to Iraq or Oman or similar hell hole.
Kontras
only worth it if you are sent to a hell hole, even then the pay isnt Thattt good. When you leave your training their are NO other opportunities, NONE, you will most likely have to do a complete career change. Then the degree you had is close to useless since it will be around 4years since you did it, I personally found myself in this position, my grades were high through uni as well! dont be fooled you WILL be worked like a slave you WILL end up loosing most of your friends due to no contact. you WILL lose your girlfriend and you WILL lose the best parts of your youth in a job with no prospects earning what you could have been in a few years any way with a better more balanced job. Schlumberger pry on the young and greedy fresh from uni they will hang a golden caret in front of you. they get your youth, the best years of your life, and in return you get some money and a dead end career. Sorry Folks its the truth.
