For anybody interested in the Merchant Marines, or a career at sea.
Like any job, it comes with its highs and lows.
Highs:
-You save nearly your entire paycheck while you're onboard.
-Lots of travel.
-Not a desk job.
-Lots of potential overtime pay
Lows:
-Routine, monotonous
-Stuck on a boat for long stretches of time
-Few opportunities to game/bang women
If I were in the narrator's shoes, though, I would've pipelined women ahead of time of the places where my boat would be making port calls. Also, had a little chuckle when he mentioned how some of the guys on his boat managed to spend their entire paycheck on booze and women while they were on land lol. not so different from the military guys we have running around here in korea.
My uncle recently retired as a pilot (they help steer the boats into port or through canals), making over 400K/year in his final year.
Not a terrible gig, especially if you love the open sea. Any Rooshers currently in this profession who can chime in with more details?
