Does any one know how to become a driver for trading-ships?

Nuff said!!

Then again anytime I see "lupe" in the thread starter, I know it will get funny!!

 

10 bucks he looked it up

 

Now why would he look it up now. When it couldn't do it before?

 

why not try and go for a pilot instead?
ship drivers are few and far between--probabely very hard to work your way up that high
but aircraft drivers--lots more of them---whats the worst that could happen --try it out

 

Ha you really think the airlines are hiring pilots there #### near as overcrowded as the trucking ind

 

just cause the the main big 2 or 3 airlines are messed up--doesnt mean they all are
there are still a few jobs for pilots---just like there is still A PILE of jobs for drivers
maybe a lot of bottom feeders--but still--they are jobs if that is what you want

 

I've been curious about Merchant Marine jobs to but the academy I looked at sounded crazy expensive.

I've also considered HVAC training. This can be applied to maintaining refrigerated cargo to get on with a freighter.

 

i can only imagine that being an HVAC mechanic on dry land would be better paying, better food, better sleep, better benefits, better home time, better lifestyle, then being on a ship for weeks at a time.....and facing sinking in stormy weather.....
