Since you are on the boat most of the time your room and board is included in that pay. If you save your money and work for say 10 years, you could pursue a land job and have money to buy the things you want. You don't really have to have another place to live and you could save all that living expense. Put up with it for awhile and take your money and go do what you want......but maybe you'd like it and stay on....who knows.

Might consider a mechanical job that would adapt to a shore job so you could get off the boat and move right into a good paying job with all your MM experience.

When I was tugboating, I liked to go into the engine room where they had all the equipment running and their work shop and tools and all. They worked hard but made a lot more money than the other types of jobs on the boat. Couldn't get over how big the engines were but they were only 1600 hp V12 GM diesels. Had access holes built into the side of the engine where they could climb through to get at the inside of the engine.
