Fuck me, I think I’m done with boats again.
Sick of the scheduling. Dealing with bitchy skippers. High stress of engineering and shit going sideways. Sick of pre-crew-up anxiety and depression. Working 84+ hrs a week and no extra pay for working my off watch.
The job is affecting my relationship with my old lady again, and isn’t healthy.
Breathing exhaust and never having proper diet or sleep patterns is killing me.
I love boats, but it’s not worth the cost of the ebb and flow of depression from my occupation, and my relationships.
Any advice in other career fields, paying $70k+?
I got great people skills, a strong back, and a DDE license. What do?
