The boat i was working on that going to go to the caribean just laid me off. I guess the owners son wanted my job. I have now 15 day to find a ride before all the boats go down south fml. the upside is i might be going back to utah. Im just pissed because the guy convinced me to take a year off of school to do it with him.

I assume you're referring to a tonnage license?

you dont need a tonnage licence but it looks better. you only need a 6 pack license which is pretty easy to get.

Hahaha, exactly.

I mean if you like working 60+ hours a week, and enjoy getting treated like complete dog shit, then go for it. Otherwise, do something that you have a passion for. Make money for yourself, not for some higher-up dick who doesn't give two fucks about you.

Well, it does take a certain kind of socially inept loser to decide to join a frat, then actually do it. But hey, if you can pay money to make friends, why not?

At that time in the thread I had no idea who he was employed for, if he had a work contract with a cruise ship or company of some sort it would probably be different. I didnt claim to know anything about the bbb

Bitching? Nah. I simply said he should get some frat friends to help him out. Isn't that what frats are all about? Helping out your "brothers"?


So did you change out that tampon? Cause you seem to still be acting like a little misinformed bitch. Maybe this isn't the thread for you...

i would run down to some of the shipyards/marinas in newport. some of the larger sailing yachts there may start leaving, some stay year round though. worth a try

Yeah I would try that. Newport Shipyard is still pretty full. Everything else is pretty slim. Artemis, Zefira, Timoneer, are some of the larger (100+) sailing yachts there. Not sure if they're looking for crew but its worth a try. Print up some resumes and start talking!

if 2 million dollars is not a lot of money, then yes. hint: this one is subjective.
