A little insite of Mass Maritime.

- It is allot different now than when I graduated 24 years ago. Back then only 2 majors. Now about 6 or 7.

- If you go to MMA with the intention of taking on of those 2 original majors.....deck or engine....know what your getting into. I still go to sea 24 years later. Is the money good just out of school.....its ok, every ship contract is a bit different but make no mistake about it the money in the 70's comparably was way more back then. Be prepared to have a failing marriage or 2 or 3. Be prepared to miss out on allot of holidays and peak fishing seasons every other year. Be prepared to have challenges raising kids when you only see them 6 months a year at the most.

- Now the plus side is when your not on a ship well you can fish allot.

It is all a catch 22.

If I could do it all over again would I..............I'd have to think about that.
