On Splash 247 there was an article about how "the office" in shipping was attracting no new blood to its ranks. Then I ran across this ad for Subsea 7. Funny they ask for this super individual to perform a litany of impossible tasks and then don't mention the salary. Then they go on to insult anyone whose really remotely qualified, that the hrs are 37.5 hrs a week for this job. Now I haven't worked in the offshore, but I can pretty much guarantee this advert is no telling the full story.

What do you think?

If they ever appoint anyone to this position...I want to meet him. He's either a bullshitter or wearing a cape with a big S on his chest.
