I did look into that a few years back. My understanding was that you need to go through an academy. Not sure this would be a good idea for me at this point since I have a very comfortable six figure remote job. At the time, I thought I was being kind of a leader by going against the grain. Everyone else was moving to the city and chasing bullshit hustler jobs. I chose to stay in a countryside college town and my plan was to buy a lot of land and start a farm, but it turned out I wasn’t being a leader. I was just self-selecting out of doing anything relevant anywhere that matters. Real estate is so expensive now I can’t even afford the farm anyway. So I guess it is what is is. All in all I can’t complain but I do wish I lived a sort of romantic life on the sea or in the army or something while I was young.

How do you do it

[Anonymous No.23167816]

>>23167716
depends which country.
if you have the qualifications then go in as an officer cadet. Here in the UK a shipping company will "sponsor" you and pay for your training (usually 3 years of training for an officer). I think there is a similar set-up in the US.
Alternatively you can join up as a deck or engine rating. If you're in the UK the largest employer or merchant seaman is the royal fleet auxiliary. In the US it's military sealift command.
Even as a rating it will usually be 1 or 2 years of training.
I had to do 2 years of training/sea time to become a fully qualified able seaman.
I work for the RFA. 4 months on 3 months off. Pay isn't amazing but it's enough for me to travel globally in my time off. I'm living in an airbnb in hanoi atm. I enjoy the job. Get to go interesting places sometimes. Towards the end of the 4 month voyage i am desperate to get off but, towards the end of my 3 months leave i am desperate to get back to sea.
Pay is better in MSC but you get less leave/time off.
ultimately there is a lot of different potential employers and types of vessel you could be working on.

>When I told him I was doing fieldwork for a doctorate in social anthropology, he immediately asked me if I was a Malinowskian functionalist or a Levi-Straussian structuralist. He had a copy of Levi-Strauss’s Le Regard Eloigné in his pocket. He lived in a run-down doss-house, in the filthiest room I have ever seen, with cobwebs, cockroaches, empty sake bottles, overflowing ashtrays and cigarette burns on the lank and greasy tatami.The room was stuffed with teetering piles of heavyweight scholarly monographs and intellectual magazines, and the walls were graffiti’d with his obsessive pictures of Nazi concentration camp guards.

regarding the ethics of pirating books
someone like houellebeck or pinchon is successful enough to not need my money
furthermore, if I'm piss broke I might as well pirate anything I'm interested in since I can't pay for it
who knows, maybe this or that thing I've read in an unrightfully pirated book might lead to me having material success (unlikely) and when that happens I will be able to pay back
but then again, piracy it's piracy and not theft

>It is easy enough to conjure up the sort of scene that would spark the outrage of someone like the activist Saitō: a wealthy executive riding in a chauffeured limousine driving by a homeless man foraging garbage from a trash can on the streets somewhere in the metropolis. Were he to witness such a scene, Saitō would be crying out for social justice until he was blue in the face. I, on the other hand, would be thinking about the heavy responsibilities shouldered by that same executive and feel very grateful not to be sitting in his seat. Since I can imagine just how carefree the life of a vagrant is, once he gets used to the idea of people watching him scavenge for his food, I don’t think of it as the ultimate tragedy that it is usually made out to be. Most important, a society that exhibits such an obvious gap between rich and poor is also one that tolerates diversity (insofar as it doesn’t round up the scavengers and cart them off to an institution). Just what a person considers to be the ultimate misfortune depends on that particular person’s values.

you do form great friendships at sea, not dissimilar to the strength of friendship that can form in the trenches or foxholes of a battlefield- but, they often begin and end on the gangway. once you pay-off you want to see anyone except your shipmates.

My research tells me that in the U.S. you basically have to go through a maritime academy. The benefit of jobs like this for people in their 30s with white collar jobs and careers like me is that you can resort to them, you can get into them quickly, work your butt off, and get paid. But if you have to go through an academy, it basically renders it unappealing.

yes, it's not casual work.
it's a lifestyle as well as your job.
it's also not unskilled labour. even at the lowest levels it requires extensive knowledge and training hence the requirement for an academy and formalised training.

>Here is a man who is wretchedly poor. He is extremely anxious that his surroundings and home comforts should be improved, yet all the time he shirks his work, and considers he is justified in trying to deceive his employer on the ground of the insufficiency of his wages. Such a man does not understand the simplest rudiments of those principles which are the basis of true prosperity, and is not only totally unfitted to rise out of his wretchedness, but is actually attracting to himself a still deeper wretchedness by dwelling in, and acting out, indolent, deceptive, and unmanly thoughts.
