Yes, lots of guys in UK dont have much idea about overseas work Phil.
Thats why I told him to Google it as will give him an idea and save him from wasting his time.
I get lots of CVs from guys with part 1 and 2 with no offshore experience, been in the game 3 years wanting to come here on the spanners.
Most end up getting the delete button or the shredder.
Some make interesting reading though and some from the older guys.
Wish I had kept them and put them in a book would be a best seller in the fiction section lol

One place were they do (or at least did) employ a small amount of western labour (foreman scaffs) was at SGB in Cairo.
Not the most glamorous place in the world and the money wouldn't be anywhere near as good as in the Middle East, but it might be a bit of fun and they didn't expect people to do long stints out there.
Things change though and I'm going back at least 4-5 years, but it's just a suggestion if you want to see a bit of the world, whilst playing around with a pile of rusty old tube...
