10 Reason why Maritime is AWESOME ( And such a great career! earn 400k USD per year!? )

Hi all, please note that since this video is about the pros of maritime, which is why it might seem to be sugar coating some of the hardships in this industry. I do have another video "10 reasons why maritime sucks" which outlines the downside of the industry. Second thing: as a Canadian I've declared non-resident which is why i do not get taxed. Some citizens such as Hong Kong, allow tax free even for residents as sailors work in international waters, so it depends on various countries (ie. USA have one of the strictest tax laws, so im not sure about them) Third..heres the 400k job: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_pilot (use CTRL-F to search "salary")

Let's not forget, during those 6 months at sea, you're getting payed and you aren't making excessive purchases to waste your paycheck since there aren't really many stores

This is a dream job for introverts who want to see the world.

I'd consider this career if I was young and single. I worked in the oil industry for a few years and made $100k with no college degree. Firefighter school was fun.

I'm a financial market trader. I trade under brokerage so i don't really get to do anything, i only receive weekly profits. I sit all day going through Internet and watching TV. I can fit to this kinda job. I love it.

Im a trucker, but i feel like im in a jail cell that moves. Maritime sounds alot better and im only 37 so i think its worth looking in to.

I really like your perspective on solitude! I think one has to learn to be truly happy alone with noone else around to actually live life to the fullest. Friends, family, everything other than you is not what brings that amazing feeling of fulfillment although that is a very nice 'cherry on the top' after you've learned to accept solitude. This video inspires me to go at my plans and get it done correctly, thank you!

Wow. Funny how something so little and easy to miss as this video can change someone’s life. I’m 15 now, in high school. And constantly wondering and troubled about what I should do with myself in the future. I think I might’ve found one answer.

I am about to be sent to my first assigned vessel in a couple of days or so and I stumbled upon this. This really made me excited and look forward to my life on board. I think what I realized in this video is that our job is all about how you look at it and your attitude towards it. If you consider it a job. Than it will become a boring and stressful ride. But if you look at it like it's an adventure and self improvement then you might even like it better when your on board rather than being on land. Thanks. You really made my day bro

Retired US Navy, enjoy your vlog! Many of your thoughts and experiences remind me of how similar life on board a civilian cargo ship is to being on board a military vessel once you are underway. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

I wish I’d seen this video when i was in High School! You’re helping a lot of people.👍

Just a dockhand now, doing pumpout boat logging days for my 6pak, thanks for broadening my horizons even more.

Maritime? More like merry time amiright

Not sure why your video was recommended to me, but I'm glad it was. Awesome stuff

As former sailor in the U.S. Navy, I commend you a lot for this videos. I always wondered what life is like a merchant (not from just those documentaries on tv). In a lot of ways the lifestyle on board are similarwith having a chain of command, separation of duty, inspections ect, ect, ect. In light of recent incidents, I really enjoyed my time at sea. No better feeling than standing on foscle and watching all type of vessels sail by. Oh and the rough seas haha. Fair winds and following seas man

As a soldier of 7.5 years in the army this will be my career choice after.

You honestly have motivated me to look into this type of job , I’m actually excited ... thank you

I love your videos so much, would love to see more about your life on the sea,😉 you just earned a new subscriber💪😎

Hey JeffHk, i love watching your videos and just wanted to say a little thank you. I applied to be an engineer back in 2010 when i just left school... but the market was shot over here in the uk. Then after watching your videos and some others i decided to give it a shot. And now i'm just about to enter the world of shipping with P&O Ferries, got my training ahead of me, but say i am excited is an understatement... so whilst i wont be going to far flung locations like you are, i am going to be living my dream. so cheers mate for inspiring me to give my dream a second chance.. 7 years after i thought it was over. All the best from the UK Dan :)

I love this entire video. I have found self improvement to be my pastime. It’s all I do, learn skills, or think philosophy. I feel like Iv seen so much through imagination that I can completely relate. It really draws me in.
