    Thanks all. So basically Im screwed mostly, and probably paid for school / 4500 for nada lol, ugh. With my only hope shooting for coast to coast deliveries. (That was my thinking before but thanks for the tip confirming chinatown) I really dont want home time tbh so meh.

    I have enough money to be an oo with no debt right away but that would be insanely stupid to do just so i can have my own schedule, without the exp anyway.

    feeling so defeated rn
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    Don't buy a truck. If you reveal your sleep condition, no insurance company will insure you.

    Can probably get a decent job as a merchant seaman or crewmember on a cruise ship.
    Which state do you live in?

    Caution: Do not pay a fee for a job aboard ship. They pay you; you don't pay them.

    • Deck: The deck staff ensures the overall safety of cruise ships and their passengers.

    • Engine: The engine department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship's propulsion, mechanical and technical systems.

    • Hotel: These staff members are responsible for guest accommodations, including entertainment, recreation and meal and beverage services.

    • Medical: This staff provides health care to passengers and crew members and responds to medical emergencies on a cruise ship.

    This cruise ship job looks like fun; especially the "beverage services": Probably could pilfer some free drinks and be careful to not get caught.
    Hotel: These staff members are responsible for guest accommodations, including entertainment, recreation and meal and beverage services.

    Get trained for tankerman, then later could transfer to an oiler and travel overseas. You'll have the qualifications for that.

    Maybe like this job in a couple of years:
    Military Sealift Command
    [​IMG]
    This is a tanker ship in the Military Sealift Command.
    These are civilian jobs, not military service members.
     
    LaernuTairo Thanks this.
