Past And Present In Maritime Recruitment
Past
Serving as officers on board of ships , nowadays it is a career of choice and they are educated to bachelor degree .
Only just fifty before the shipping enterprise was significantly different from nowadays . Actually being a sailor meant a life style , it was frequent for most of the sailors to spend long periods at sea , sometimes approximately 12 months at sea and many of them used to stay in maritime hubs between contracts on different ships . The vessels stayed very long time in shipping ports - sometimes weeks . The number of ship crew members was greater than in these days and they had no drug and alcohol restriction or AIDS . So the sailors from a half a century ago were adventurous people who in the open water business could embark on a new life regardless of what they left behind , no matter whether it was a situation where they did not actually have any sort of education , that they did their time in prison , that they were unable to read , as long as they were able ( hence the term AB Able-Bodied ) , prepared to work really hard and could integrate onboard communally they were warm welcome in the business . Young people uninterested in school were thrilled to find another conditions where they could be challenged , bring home a nice income and head back home as men . Common myths were invented during those times . Sailors were hard people with tattoos , parrots on the shoulder and golden ear rings .
Present
Nowadays all these has changed . In the maritime trade now it is necessary a high school degree to enter the officer educations . Becoming a junior navigating officer will take a minimum of 4 years and there is no room for maladjusted people . The number of administration has grown to become so challenging that you need extensive bookkeeping abilities . The vessels are extremely modern that are needed considerable training to operate the systems . The vast majority of vessels stay few hours in harbour with no time for the sailors to go ashore . The crew onboard is being decreased to the absolute minimum . On top of this , different nationalities have been applied in the crewing policy with the goal of reducing manning total cost . Crew from third world nations will never complain about the conditions . If it is possible to choose between poverty , hunger or going to sea - the latter is without a doubt the best . However the modern western young adults are not very happy with the conditions . They have actually different choices . Not many people who have lived their life on sea probably would encourage this path to their kids .
Reality
What reality waits for the enthusiastic young ones prepared to submit to the navy business ? What determined these people make this choice ? And as a consequence for how much time are going to they stay ? And what will they will do after the sailing career ? These are definitely very good issues that are not very easily answered . Above all , lots of problems waits onboard the ships . That is of course , studying a large number of reports and maritime blogs and forums . Items that get high rank in the point of view of sailors at the present time are : piracy , criminalization , homesick blues , deprivation , disturbed sleep pattern , hardly any influence on menu and very difficult accessibility to medical doctors . The other side of the coin is the top earnings , the independence , the big responsibility , the journeys and the personal growth once on your own out in the big world . Undoubtedly it may be a bit complicated for such type of a profile to get used to a land position after many years at sea .
That is an individual choice for each of those who choose this demanding business.
