I loved the chance to lead people my age and teach them how to perform our duties.

What I wish was different

I wish I had demonstrated more patience with my subordinates some of the time, but I believe I improved over the course of the job.

Advice

Mental endurance is a key part of this job and something you can only develop by putting yourself through it.

What I liked

I loved the variety of responsibilities this job included. Living on a boat itself required smooth collaboration and communication with my co-workers, who I lived with for fifty days straight. My day-to-day duties included things like cooking, cleaning, repairs, organizing, and driving the boat. On days we offloaded fishing boats, I was in charge of keeping records of the catch, and giving a bill of sale to the fishermen. I also enjoy how much of the commercial fishing industry depends on things that are out of one's control, such as: weather, salmon returns, and when fishing is open or closed.

What I wish was different

Nothing.

Advice

Find a crew that respects you and supports you!
