27 years old with really no experience in any kind of offshore work. I am looking to work as much as I can for the next 1.5-2 years so I can save up and go back to school or just move on to a better career opportunity. I have applied with countless companies over the past month, and maybe I'm not doing what I need to be doing to get on. Anyone that works offshore, or knows anyone that does, know what I need to do to make this happen? Thanks in advance!

Don't get a job onshore.

Become a plant "operator" like all these dudes on TD. Make $350K yearly, no overtime and sit at a control panel all day.

Your best shot is to apply to Drilling Rig companies as a Roustabout. Usually always looking for people.
Try Hercules, Diamond Offshore, Spartan Offshore, Rowan, Nabors, Noble Drilling, Bennu, etc..

Or become a welder and get on a few turnarounds.

seriously...before you do anything go get your TWIC, Rigging 6th Edition, Water Survival and Safe Gulf.

Then go apply for a job offshore.
