Educate Me
As the title says "Educate Me" on what I have been seeing a lot of online.
So as I have read through this site and its forum along with many other forums throughout the web I am seeing a lot of negativity towards commercial diving from commercial divers none the less. What I don't understand is if they are making this job sound so terrible then why the hell are they still in this field of work?
I have also made a few discussions on other forums saying how I am seriously wanting to make this a new career for me and take what I already know along with me. Usually what I get is don't be foolish and get into this field of work. Things along those likes, another being your going to be disappointed too find that commercial diving isn't as glamorous as it seems. Hell I weld in the oilfields nothing to glamorous there either. I guess I never saw this as a "glamorous" job sort of speak but something out of the norm where you have to work hard too get anywhere just like any other field of work.
So what I am getting at is why if this is such a crappy field of work (going by what I read) do people stay in this field of work or get into it?
As a side note, regardless of what I have been reading be it mostly negatives they don't affect my decision much on what I want to do. I am just being curious about the above question. Thanks for reading and looking forward to responses :)

Well I can do without the tanning beds and saunas (although a sauna does sound nice sometimes) but the weight rooms are what I was kind hoping to hear since lifting is an obsession even if I'm not a big guy :( maybe by the time I'm out looking for work I will have added another good 20lbs.
That was a pretty good idea about the poll, now I'll just think about how to go about that since there isn't a poll function on this site (that I have seen) hey maybe that's something that could be added to this site? A poll function in topics, just a suggestion. Anyways ALL of the recruiters have been telling me that there is a lot of work out there and that my welding experience will help me out in the long run. Well I can see that the ability to weld will help me but the part about there being a lot of work makes me question if there is smoke being blown up my ass again since when I come on here everyone is talking that there isn't any work out there.
Now is there a lot of work and people are just having problems finding it or has the s***ty economy hurt the diving industry also like my common sense wants me to believe.
