Great Job Treb56. It doesn’t matter if the day rate is $90. Like Jemplayer posted, just get in the door.
In less than a year it will be $200 a day. In 3 to 4 years it will be over 100K a year.
You’ve beat all the naysayers on here about finding a job. Now you just have to not listen to all the naysayers on the boat on not working so hard. Remember, nobody is looking out for your future but you. Don’t let the turds on deck let you get flushed with them. Just because they are to lazy to chip and paint doesn’t mean you have to follow them. Believe me, it is noticed and word gets back to the office about the good deckhands.
As the old saying goes, Character is what you do when folks are not looking.
