HI IM A SEAFARER AND I WORK FOR A CRUISE LINE AND THIS LIFE TEACHES US TO SEE LIFE AT A DIFFERENT WAY.
It's a great lifestyle if you are suited to it, most people are not. You need to be at once hardworking and serious but also lighthearted and have a good sense of humor.
Living at sea is to be constantly in danger and constantly having to take that danger seriously enough to know that even though nothing happened during the last 999 watch shifts you took, you still need to be awake and alert for the 1,000th one because anything can go wrong at any time. You need to have a serious view of the fact that people are trusting you with their lives while they sleep and you need to be on a crew that you trust with your own life while you sleep.
