I'm a merchant mariner. 6-9 months out of the year I'm shipping out. I'm an officer so I make good money, usually $9,000-$11,000 a month. After I get back, I usually take the rest of the year off, or however long it takes to find a new charter. In my off time, I mostly sit on ass and manage my estate (100 acres). Sometimes I'll make a little extra money doing stuff like welding or machine work, fixing neighbors' cars, and sometimes just getting a part time job.
Feels good. I love my job, I don't think I've worked a day in my life. Here is my schedule when at sea
>wake up for my watch
>bark orders at seaniggers and wetbacks who basically get paid slave wages
>relax in officer's mess and drink coffee and shoot the shit
>watch again
>smoke and boss people around some more
>shoot the shit in the mess
>spend free time reading and working out
>when we put into port, spend a few hours drinking, getting a tattoo (although I basically have all of my "sailor tattoos" so I don't do this anymore), fuck whores, eat out, etc
Feels good tbh. I'm aware I'm a degenerate but I don't really care. Being a butt fucking sailor, I've pretty much resigned myself to a life of no wife, no girlfriend, no family, and no friends. So I might as well desecrate my skin, lungs, and liver while I'm at it
The best part of the job is that I don't have to sit in the US and watch Rome fall to the barbarians
