Drilling Persuasive Speech
Offshore drilling began in 1847, in approximately fifty feet of ocean water on top of wooden piers. Since then we have went from having a rig on a wooden piers and a platform 200 – 300 feet in the water to, having drilling rigs that can walk themselves and drill at a curve. Within that timeline discoveries of both good and bad, devastating and innovative have been made on the subject of drilling oil in the middle of the ocean. Offshore drilling has been the cause of many ocean life deaths and contaminations and the processes used to find and or retrieve oil have been known to cause disruptions in the ocean marine life. But I am

a firm believer in finding a better way if you just stay with it, you can find it.
I would like to talk about the good.
So first things first, you fly to work in a helicopter, how cool is that. Putting the awesome helicopter aside, offshore drilling provides good jobs for people. There is always dangers in drilling for gas and oils, but on an offshore rig safety inspectors visit once a month no matter what. The people that are hired to work are good at
what they do. They work the same job everyday only getting better at what they do. Other benefits of working offshore are, they cook for you, all you have to do is go to the kitchen when you get hungry and eat. There are people who wash your clothes, make your bed, and clean your room.
Now once you are on the rig you are not leaving for 14 to 30 days so do not forget anything and try not to get homesick. If you think about it though if you can not go anywhere for weeks at a time then you do not spend money which means you save money. That is a good thing, no matter who you are. You can actually save money in quite a few ways working in an offshore position in many ways. You get medical benefits and in the medical field things can get
expensive.
With so much opportunity at hand with a job in the oilfield you can advance in the field if you are willing to work hard and pay attention. One thing about having a job with dangerous materials is that you learn to pay attention. For someone like me a job like this can be what your life revolves around especially if you love what you do. And loving what you
do is what it’s about. When you love what you do you usually love the life it provides.
Having someone cleaning your room, making your bed, doing your laundry and cooking for you while you are working or sleeping instead of school or bedtime. It is like being a kid, except you get told what to do by a boss not a parent you have time for lunch not lunch time and you get paid for your time, which means you should already know what you are doing.
You can look at everything in a good or bad, black or white, up or down point of view, or you can even be one of those glass half full half empty people. Most people choose to see things one way or another, but I like to look at offshore drilling as an opportunity to do things, see things, meet people and even go places and that is always a good thing. So when some look at offshore drilling they see things like disasters and misfortunes but for me when I look at offshore drilling my thoughts are more about the hopes of what it can be. I believe it can go from good to even better.
