There are many jobs available at the entry-level for working in an oil rig. Oils rigs can either be offshore or onshore. One should work in an onshore oil rig, at least in the beginning in order to gain the relevant experience. Offshore jobs are a bit tough than onshore ones due to the amount of traveling involved and time that is spent away from the shore. It also involves facing dangerous situations involving the threat of hurricanes. However, it is an exciting job where one gets to learn a lot. The salary or remuneration is not quite an issue for jobs on oil rigs because, even the dishwashers get a handsome pay of $700 per week in the beginning itself.
