I stumbled out of bed at 10:00, not my usual 7:00, and fired up the computer.

| Article Title :: Making a Career of Sharing |
| |
| After battling the sea for nine years, it's time to move on. That's what I told myself when I first stepped ashore to search for a land job. The decision was not made on the spur of a moment but after much thought and soul searching. While I was working aboard ship, many of us talked about working ashore some day.

Whenever I see older seamen on my ship, I feel a bit of pity for them. I can feel their frustrations. And I know exactly what they will face over the coming six to nin (read full article) |
