Business outlook
Pros
Pros: You're being paid to travel the world! You meet and work with many amazing people. I now have friends on most continents. Your job can be fun, depending on why you are there. It can be a party atmosphere, or chill, depending on you.
Cons
Cons: There are many many little things that can wear you down. No car, no private space unleas you hold a job lucky enough to guarantee you a single cabin. Constant safety drills, shipboard specific responsibilities like cleaning when the ship is under certain conditions, etc... Can get old. Very slim prospect of growing any roots / furthering career on land, etc.... Great when you're young and have no ties.
