ROV Pilot – I am an introvert. Problem?

Kalbo’s response was a bit tongue in cheek but reading between the lines… not far off the mark.

On a more serious level, it’s not really a game for introvert people.
There is a lot of piss taking, joking, pressure etc. It’s quite an active and varied lifestyle. People are around you, as a minimum, for 13-14hrs a day.. 12 hrs on shift and another couple of hours either side. You need to interact with the team during 12hrs of this at least. Ships and other work sites are full of people. Given what you have written it probably wouldn’t suit your character.

geezy, don’t you think that you might be being a bit hard on yourself? You are only 19 years old. I think it is a little soon to write yourself off as an introvert. I remember reading somewhere that a person’s basic character is still being moulded up to the age of 30. A lot of 19 year old lads (and lasses) are a bit shy and quiet. It doesn’t make them introverts for life.

You make no mention of your training, qualifications and work experience to date. Now is the time to get the necessary skills and qualifications, or build on any that you already have. Also there is a lot to be gained from doing any kind of work. (Pushing a broom in a factory. Stacking supermarket shelves. Anything!) In addition to cash in your pocket, you’ll get the benefit of social interaction in the workplace and experience some of the ‘hard knocks’ of working life. It will all go towards making up your character.

BS.
What your crew members say behind your back is 100% more important than what you do on the job.
No one will know what you do, the opinion from the Supv. and his co-horts will direct your career.
Learn to kiss ass, that is the way to succeed in ROV combined with a knowledge & to some degree expertise of your craft.
