hey guys. i've been hanging around this forum on and off for quite a while now. i've got few questions concerning a certain topic that i've been thinking about for a while, and it is particularly difficult to find answers in this area.
i've heard often about the job of being a private boat captain. you know, the guy who gets paid to live on a nice yacht full time, keep it spotless, keep up with maintenance records and stuff, and most importantly, deliver it to where the owner wants it, when he wants it. i know a few people who have done the job but i don't see them regularly. what i know is that it's typical modernly for them to make 1k per year per foot of boat.
my questions are, what are the usual requirements for this job? a 6-pack license might help i'm sure. a college education would look good. i've been told cutlery is a good skill to have on your resume...
but what is the real down low on this job? is it impossible to get? how do you find employers? has anyone done it? i'm in the middle of college right now, and thinking about trying to do a job such as this when i get out. all advise is welcome!
