What to choose

In this field it seems every year or so, we must make the choice to stay or leave positions. It's not a easy decision to make. In my case it's either leave home and my wife to sail and make enough to live comfortable or try to make it ashore and struggle because the pay is so much lower.

You know the choice I made, but for others it isent as easy. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and the children are grown and moved out. So the choice is not as hard, I won't be a absent dad. 

But for the younger crowd if your still single this is a way to make good money and get a head start on your dreams. Some jobs at sea pay over 60k a year. Yes you have to be sure you save to pay taxes but besides that you can really get ahead if you put your mind and heart into it.

Think of it would you rather work the line at 10 or 12hr? Or work 7 months, save it and have a 3 month vacation?

That is how some do it.

Gives you something to think on.

Till next time

May your grease never spoil and your fish always be fresh
