inland or deep sea?
Hello. I am currently participating in the SIU unlicensed apprentice program and having gotten off my 2nd phase ship, I am still unsure where I want this career choice to lead. My questions:
Are there jobs available on inland routes and what kind? I know nothing about smaller vessels and their crewing requirements. Are these jobs harder to get (and keep) than deep sea jobs? I don't want to waste my time trying to ship out of a port like St. Louis if there are no job openings for rookie B books or I am going to be run off by existing crew. Though I would like to stay in the states, I would gladly work deep sea if that's where the work is. Thanks for any advice you can give.
