I hold an honors degree in Architecture. Due to the economic climate, I cannot find a job with an architecture firm. I really need to make a bit of money and so was thinking about trying to get an offshore job. Would I need to retrain (apart from survival course) to get a job in the oil industry? Is there a specialism within the oil/gas industry that is relevant to my degree? Thanks.

I have been applying for civil engineering and construction jobs for a while, with nothing yet. I am getting a bit restless and thinking of working for free until I can land a full time job. Any tips on how this works? Do I post an ad for myself on craigslist or some other site? Do I email companies individually? I feel a bit hesitant about emailing companies because I feel that implies that they cannot afford to hire people. Any advice will help thanks!
