I respectfully disagree about this statement, let me clarify my point please.
In my 22 years aviation career with EASA license I have flow aerial work, then HEMS (the Italian kind, which is single pilot / multi pilot involving HAA, HEMS and mountain SAR-HHO all mixed together in H24/365 operations), then VVIP flying African country presidents, then offshore OGP (with CHC and Babcock) I can say HEMS is definitely a kind a job I would never get bored about.
On the other hand, Offshore is very boring as well as repetitive aerial work.
Salary: minimum level in aerial work, maximum at offshore OGP, HEMS intermediate level.
My opinion.
