****UPDATE*****
I got a flurry of replies from the placement agencies that Octane gave to me. They were very nice in their responses and wished me luck. But they do not "normally" place trainees for clients. Some even gave me companies to contact directly, guess who? All of the main players such as "Acergy, Oceaneering, Canyon-Helix, Fugro, I-Tech/Subsea7, Sonsub, and Technip".
You are all correct, this is a sure struggle that is a character builder and an endurance test for determination.
I just wanted to let you all know what was going on with the agencies.
Cheers
