>>2021063Compared to cargo ships, you'll be making shit money. At least that's how it is in America, you'll have 3 meals, a roof over your head, a bed and a job.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to fuck around in the coast guard if you get veterans benefits like we do in the USA.
Use your coast guard career to jump start your career. Since you'll be the Port state control you'll get to inspect ships and ding them for any safety and security violations.
