I'm not sure how far one will get by looking at female colleagues everyday.
But I'm in offshore as I'm not degree holder, admittedly I've only average results in poly.
What attracted me to offshore is the 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off routine. So basically, I only work half of the year and do not need to take annual leave to go for a vacation or to run some errants. I can do this during my off days. And they do pay during the off days, more importantly it's tax free as the pay is drawn overseas. Of course the downside is, if there is any non urgent matters during my time offshore, I can't be home for it.
