Mar 27, 2009 by Age | Posted in Studying Abroad

I hold an honors degree in Architecture. Due to the economic climate, I cannot find a job with an architecture firm.
I really need to make a bit of money and so was thinking about trying to get an offshore job.
Would I need to retrain (apart

If you mean a hands on job, no the degree won't help and the guys will hate you,and try to make you look bad from the Foreman down because of your previous job. sorry buddy. maybe you could get an admin. job on a rig, or something out there in the engineering.

Gas Industry Spending: Or, How to Win the Race to the Bottom

27.01.12

Over the last few years, television commercials extolling the virtues of hydrofracking while conveniently papering over the degradation it causes have become pretty common fare in Pennsyslvania and western New York.  The imagery is predictable — gorgeous meadows and untarnished countryside, attractive young couples, both happily employed by the same benevolent Oil & Gas company (focus groups loved the man who looks like the lead singer for Megadeath with a haircut) — you get the picture.  The message conveyed by this young couple has become a mantra in the industry:  drilling is good for their family, good for the surrounding community, good for the environment, good for the economy, good for Americans.  The industry’s strategy is apparently to repeat this rosy view of hydrofracking until the public forgets all of the problems it can cause, like toxic air pollution, groundwater contamination, and billions of gallons of hazardous wastewater.
