>>6830507I went to an Maritime Academy in the USA. I've been sailing for 7 years working 4 to 6 months at sea at a time with equal time off. The pay is good but you also spend no money when working. The only things I own are clothing and a suit case. I travel almost the whole time off the ship. Being on board is hard its Monday everyday, no weekend or time off. A usual day is 12 to 14 hours plus. During that day I usually only talk to one or two people. For me I love it you have time to think and it's worth the time off. I'm a 2nd officer (gotta be able to see red and green).
