no one wants to hire college grads to work offshore, they know you will want to move up quickly.
Take it from a towing company's perspective. They don't want to hire career deckhands/tankermen. The point is to groom employees towards making it into the wheelhouse. Someone with a college degree, that can't find work in this economy, might be a great candidate for upward mobility.
We recently hired a Tulane Grad that couldn't find work. Granted, he had some bullshite environmental science degree. Theoretically, he could be making well into six figures in 5-6 years. Not bad for someone under 30.

What company do you work for Whiz, if you don't mind me asking. And does it currently have similar opportunities to what's been talked about in here?

My BIL works for an outfit out of Vicksburg. He's one of the liberal types that got his undergrad/Masters in dumb shite. Could not find work so he started as a deckhand. Been working for maybe 10 years and although I don't know all the lingo, I think he is a pilot now or whatever the name is for the guy that drives that fricker.
