Business outlook
Pros
The money is really good because of the overtime you get everyday and weekends. You are working 7days a week. You get to visit beautiful places all over the world. You can train on the ship to advance. Some departments are easier to get in than others. The food is free and not too bad depending on the person. Work isn't too difficult once you adjust to the hours and have a routine. Government job. NEX access.
Cons
You're away from home. If you're single without kids it's an ideal job, but if you have a family be prepared for a struggle. Being out at sea too long can drive you nuts. Limited internet access. The people you work with and/or for may be difficult, but it's all about remembering it's just a job.
