Everything has advantages and disadvantages. No occupation is absolutely good, and no occupation is absolutely bad. It depends on your ability and your pursuit. Limited ability, simple pursuit, lured by the main advantages of seafarers' profession (more money), so I chose to be a sailor, as simple as that. Being a sailor is a popular saying, and all our crew members are called running boats. The advantages of running a boat: (for me, it may not be everything) First, the most obvious, famous and attractive advantage: more money. I haven't boarded the ship, I don't know much about the specific market, I haven't investigated it, and I have no right to speak, so I can't talk nonsense, in case my statement is untrue, so as not to be suspected of being forced. We can only learn from the wisdom of others. Let me use the latest survey of a younger brother of the crew to explain briefly. Moreover, shipping is very depressed now, and there are rumors that many shipowners have reduced the wages of their crew, especially the third mate and the third tube. I checked in time, but some companies reduced their salaries. I will also write a report on seafarers' wages when I get on the ship to discuss this issue in detail, which is also in response to Brother Yuan's call. According to Ge Yuan's investigation, the ship he is on now is a dispatch ship, 4250 containers, and a class A route. (Just to give some examples of senior crew members) The captain's chief engineer is 7,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 5,600 US dollars for 40,000 pairs of large oil pipes, 3,200 US dollars for more than 30,000 pairs of second oil pipes and 2,800 US dollars for nearly 23,000 pairs of third oil pipes, which is equivalent to 1.8 million. This salary standard can represent the middle level, so I borrow it. On land, it is not easy for such a college student with average salary, average education and average ability to find such a job, is it? According to the ideal budget, I will run on the boat at the above salary 10 years. I was 32 years old at that time, so I should be able to buy a car and a house. Garage is not a necessary condition for marriage these days. I don't want to live so tired for the garage, but I want to marry a wife all day. No car, no room! Ha, I'm kidding ~ I don't think about it all day, I just think about it occasionally. The second is to have the opportunity to go abroad to see. This boast is called traveling around the world. What is a mixed faction? There are China people and foreigners on board. What is independence? The company will send you a porcelain to the boat. If you are lucky, you can meet a compatriot, and the others are foreign devils. We work together, and the working language is of course English. Although we all speak poor English, it is estimated that oral English can be improved if we practice slowly for work. The above three points are the main reasons why I decided to run the boat, and there is another point that most people may not accept: I want to suffer while I am young! Kind of mean, huh? Hehe ~ My reason is simple. I want to temper my strong will by suffering a little, experience the hardships of life, and exercise the quality of not being afraid of difficulties. Life at sea is hard, as everyone knows. Different people look at this same hard life with different attitudes, and I think there will be different gains! It is good for the future to suffer while you are young. The above is the general reason why I chose to run a boat as my career. Whether my wishful thinking is right or not will be known after running for two years. Writing this article is also a prediction, which will be verified later. Like daydreaming, described the benefits of sailing. Is it really that beautiful? No, sailing is actually one of the hardest jobs in the world. Disadvantages of running a ship: First, the information is blocked, the internet cannot be accessed during sailing, and there is no signal in the non-coastal areas of mobile phones. If there is a signal, it is also an international roaming, which is too expensive for you to use. When I dock, I usually use a foreign card to contact my family. I wonder if they are easy to buy. In a word, it is extravagant to keep in touch with family and friends. Second, there are no women on board, but all are male compatriots. It is difficult to see beautiful women (except movies) or to listen to the real voice of the opposite sex, so run.
