Your Life on an Offshore Oil Rig — Every Rank, Every Cost

You're 19 years old. You just traded six months of your year for a salary your father didn't hit until he was forty. 150 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. No land. No signal. No way back until the rotation ends. This is what happens to a person when they are placed inside a machine and told to survive it. Every rank. Every dollar. Every cost. From $55,000 to $500,000+. From Greenhand to VP of Operations. Nothing skipped. ───────────────────────────── 💬 One question. How far would YOU make it before the rig breaks you?
