There are plenty of good jobs available for Mariners with your endorsements. If you don’t know how to job hunt, learn, or use one of the employer paid recruiters, There is absolutely no reason for you, or anyone like you to work cheap. When you work cheap, you are doing yourself and other qualified Mariners like yourself a great disservice.

Are we in the Philippines? All jokes aside, you can make more than that working in retail. Don’t undervalue your labor.
I dont want to bring the day rate down Iam that desperate to get on a boat to get more experience to move up, I tried two agencies I have gone to Louisiana for 12 days back in March. Properly done at least 50 online apps. I just need a opening. I have even joined AMO if I was a 3a/e I could get a job with them. Thank You

Try Premier Pacific Seafoods in Seattle and the other Seattle based fishing companies that operate large factory vessels.
For recruiters try, Faststream, Oceanwide, C-Mar, Spencer Ogden, and Maritime
Headhunters. You can find them with Google
It’s all about being at the right place at the right time and ready to sail.
NOAA is always looking for engineers if you’re hitting dead ends everywhere else.

If you have DDE4000 you should not have trouble finding a job, apply at any and all tugboat companies. Brusco, Sause bros, Kirby, maybe you are looking in the wrong sector. There should be jobs out there.
Do you need to be on a certain HP vessel? I’m about to leave where I am but it’s only 2000hp. I would be happy to point you in the direction if you can deal with a captain that thinks he’s an engineer because he knows how to turn on the engine and with an annoying deckhand. Job’s all yours if you want it
