Plus Hyperbaric medicine was not popular then. I would suggest ndt because its so versatile. Had I taken that it wouldve been much better in my area . You can do that top side or in the water and the pay is good .more white collar. level III makes 80 +k . Had I stayed in Cali med would have been good cuz the school system is better there. I can tell you first hand ,tending a 200 lb guy in 195 ft of water 3-5ft seas is murder. I found that the ndt guys were in the dive shack more when we were in the weather. Didnt bother me at the time but I was a young country mule back then. lol

- I havent been in since '92 .Crazy I know but I'm gearing up for some inland and marsh work. I just miss it .I can't make a living at it anymore since I'm self employed in another industry. So I'm trying to just work for for small companies that do 1 or 2 day projects. What about you ?are you working yet? What was/is your major in school there.
