I am an ocean-going sailor, and I have been engaged in this job for seven years. Generally speaking, this job is acceptable as long as you are not neurotic.

Here, I think it is necessary to correct some laymen's views on seafarers' certificates. The so-called boredom, I think it depends on what kind of person this person is in dealing with hobbies. If you don't know what natural fun is and how to find it, then you will live in crowds and downtown every day, and you will always watch the Internet with your mobile phone, and your life will also be boring.

There are many things to do after work on board, such as local area network PK, study, reading, watching movies, listening to music, fitness, table tennis, poker, chess, VHF chat, satellite phone and so on. In addition, many ports have seamen's clubs, in which various fitness and entertainment facilities are relatively complete, the Internet is generally free, and fixed telephones are also very cheap. Many countries have agents to send them aboard. Cheap international calls cost only 1-2 cents or even a few cents per minute. Hehe, sometimes my neck hurts when I call. QQ hangs up 24 hours, which is quite cool-

As for salary, it depends on your position. The salary of an ordinary senior crew member is 20 times that of an ordinary crew member.

You can't say whether the food is good or not. Mainly depends on the management of routes and ships. The food quality and quantity of many shorter routes are much better than that of ordinary families. The sea is bitter, and there are few fresh vegetables, but there are still plenty of fruits, milk, beer, all kinds of meat, all kinds of seafood and condiments. It is normal for a good chef to cook more than a dozen dishes for everyone during the Spring Festival, and it is also normal to control enough alcohol consumption. Of course, the shipping company you serve also has these daily treatments.

I don't know if these words will help you, hehe, good luck.

Question 2: What is the occupation, salary and work intensity of seafarers ▲ Classification△ Senior seafarers are divided into management level and operation level: captain, chief engineer, chief mate, second engineer and political commissar (only available in China). Operation level: big tube wheel, big tube wheel, big tube wheel, big tube wheel. Ordinary seafarers are also called auxiliary boatswain, mechanic foreman, Yishui, mechanic, etc. , including the chef. At present, most ships along the coast of China still have the post of steward, also called the owner's representative, which should belong to the management level. The organizational system of ocean-going freighters is generally more than 10,000 tons, and the crew of the whole ship is generally 19-24. In addition to the captain and political commissar, there are 8 senior crew members, 10 ordinary crew members and 2 chefs. The crew organization system is divided into deck department and engine department. There is a clear division of posts within each department.

Question 3: What are the salaries of the crew and sailors? What no one wants now is the three pairs of three tubes that have just received the license; It was not more than ten years ago that an officer could only be called an officer if he was the first mate or above. It's good that the internship company can get it, even if it wants money. Third mate turned positive? If you do three pairs of domestic north-south lines, it will be about 4-6 thousand, 1 000- 1 500 dollars. If it is high, it is a state-owned enterprise (it can be asked that it should not be a state-owned enterprise, but two or three pairs of state-owned enterprises have higher wages, but they can't catch too many certificates) or a liar.

Question 4: Who worked as a sailor at sea, what was it like and what was their income? The crew is divided into ordinary crew and duty crew (cadre crew). Ordinary seafarers only need some professional training to obtain basic vocational certificates, while seafarers on duty need a long period of post knowledge training and examination (generally need to graduate from professional colleges). Work ships are divided into transport ships (merchant ships), engineering ships and fishing boats. The nature of their work varies according to their functions.

As for income, the salary of working at sea is generally higher than that of working on land. Take the crew on duty as an example. At present, the monthly salary can range from thousands to tens of thousands, depending on the position, ship type, navigation area and so on.

Question 5: Is the salary of going to sea as a sailor really as high as he said? Haha, I saw another one. All right, providence. I'm not sure about Shanghai Ocean Shipping Group, but I know that Wang Yanping is the chairman of Shanghai (Fujian) Air China Ocean Shipping Management Co., Ltd. This company is very powerful. More than 70 ships in Guodian series are in his charge, plus hundreds of ships in Guoyuan series, all of which are more than 70 thousand tons. Xia Hai is also in his company's name. I'm not advertising. At present, the probationary interns pay about 50 to 100 USD per month, with RMB around 500 yuan per month. In other words, students who hand out leaflets on the street earn much more than you. The probation period of 6000 yuan is in 2008, not now, so there is no problem with advertising, but the time is wrong, and it is the treatment n years ago. At present, the domestic official general crew is paid about 5000 RMB, with a slightly higher water head. It's right to say "you don't need education or work experience, just go", because as long as you make money by boat through his agent, you have to give him a commission or something. Anyway, it's money, very high, a lot of money. I thought he was trying to make this money and cheat you out of this money in your bag, so the threshold is so low, okay? ! If I don't know how to keep asking, I'm happy to keep answering. The more people I see, the happier I am. Ok, I'll continue to explode,,,, and the salary is very attractive. Sure, it's $7,400 a month as a captain. Can you not be tempted? I didn't ask in the question, but it's meaningless to talk too much. Now I'll explain the last question to you. "But I don't know anyone who is engaged in this job, so I'm afraid of being cheated." Brother, you are inland and don't do this job around, so this company should have a point near your home and set up a point to recruit students. Then I hope that after you learn from me, you can tell those who have been cheated around you. I don't beg. First of all, I'll tell you the real treatment of this industry. At present, taking domestic companies, 10,000-ton bulk carriers and ocean-going global uncertain routes as examples, interns spend about $50 to 100, sailors $750, heads 1 100, third mate 1400, second mate $2,800 and chief mate $64,000 a month. You can go to Baidu to compare the salary of Baidu's crew. The online salary is slightly higher than the actual salary. The treatment is really like this. What their black agents say is reasonable, so your online survey will be in a mess, and it will be difficult to distinguish between true and false. You can answer all kinds of things, and you can't figure out what the situation is. I won't give you any advice if you want to enter this industry. I just want to say how this industry is. At present, the crew is in a state of saturation, so the treatment is so fast. In 2008, as long as you get the officer's certificate, you can get on the ship and do related work immediately, with a salary of not less than 1 10,000. Now from June 2065438 to June 2004, even if you get a formal certificate, you will have to spend a lot of money to be promoted to relevant positions. The most representative is the third mate. At present, the crew on the ship is only the old water head and the chef without the certificate of senior crew. Other interns, big tables, sailors and even carpenters are fighting for the third position. The crew is seriously saturated. As for the future life on the ship, the difference between deck and engine room, berthing, piracy and other issues have little to do with fraud prevention. Ask if you are interested. I may not like it if I talk too much. If you want to know if this company is real, you can only give it a try, because we don't know if it is real. Even if he is a liar, the power behind the scenes is unknown. You go to the admissions office to find out the full name of this company, and then try your best to find out the specific address and location of this company. If this company is a state-owned enterprise or a company with considerable strength, let's talk about it in the office building of this company. Since this company has this project, there must be someone in charge in the main company. Find the person in charge and talk about everything. I really can't do it. Just go with some buddies. Go on a trip. However, it is impossible for me. A truly powerful company will go to a good school to recruit graduates of related majors, and will not pay attention to students with only a high school diploma and no social experience. If you find it inappropriate, quit immediately. According to my estimation, this intermediary has something to do with this big company ... >>

Question 6: What is the monthly salary of the crew? The minimum professional crew is about 5000 yuan per month.

Senior crew members need to graduate from maritime colleges with high salaries. The salary of ordinary crew members is not high at all.

Position distribution:

1. Management level: captain, first mate, chief engineer, second engineer. Political commissar only holds this position on China ships.

If the crew of this level comes from COSCO or CSCL, a big domestic company, the salary level is probably as follows, with some errors:

Large container ships and supertankers: 40,000-30,000 RMB per month for the captain and 35,000-30,000 RMB per month for the chief engineer.

Ordinary cargo ships and bulk carriers only have about 60-50% of their own.

By analogy, the salary of the first mate and the second engineer is generally about 50-60% of that of the captain.

The salary of the second mate and the tube wheel is generally about 60%-70% of that of the first mate.

The salary of the third mate and the second mate is generally about 70%-80% of that of the second mate.

Operation level: the second pair, the third pair, the second tube wheel and the third tube wheel.

Third, the level of security: sailors, machinists, carpenters, waiters and cooks, the salary is generally about 50-60% of that of officers, there are some differences at home.

The crew is divided into inland river, coastal and ocean. Sailors who run the ocean generally have higher wages, so they are real seafarers. Due to the conditions, they can't go home often. Container liner is better, and it can have a fixed return time. Others, including bulk cargo and general cargo ships, rarely have a fixed timetable.

Question 7: What is the life of seafarers working at sea? In fact, this is probably the life of a sailor. This is a good article, I hope I can give you some understanding! "Sailors are good, with an annual salary of several hundred thousand." When many people hear that they are sailors, their first reaction will be like this. Seafarers' wages are indeed high compared with those on land, but not every sailor gets high wages. It is senior seafarers who get high salaries. The salary of ordinary seafarers is only two or three thousand yuan, while that of senior seafarers is five to ten times that of ordinary seafarers.

"You need to work hard to get a high salary," said the sailor "Golden Arrow". From the sailor to the third mate, Golden Arrow experienced too many disappointments. When filling out the volunteer form, many students reminded him that not everyone can go sailing. Sailors are strict, good at English and strong in physique ... but he applied for the major of ship driving without hesitation, just to let the people he loves live a good life.

At the maritime school, he gets up at 5: 50 every day to exercise and read English. But God played a joke on him. After graduation, I can only be a sailor mechanic, and I can only exchange money by manual labor all my life. Later, the teacher told him that he could take the adult college entrance examination and enter a real maritime school. He will attend classes at school during the day and attend adult college entrance examination classes at the Cultural Palace at night. This lasted for three years, but in the end, because I filled in the wrong volunteer, I was not admitted to Jimei Maritime College. In desperation, he had to start his sailing career as a sailor. The first time he boarded the ship, he was diligent and did everything, not afraid of hardship. He did this for more than a month and learned everything a sailor needs to know, especially steering. The first mate liked him very much and said that he had never seen such a student. When his master was about to disembark, the owner applied for Jin Jian to be a sailor. At that time, he didn't have a sailor's card, so he used a shipowner's card. It took more than four months to get off the ship and change the sailor's card. After the sailor's certificates were exchanged, the owner arranged for him to board another ship. He works and studies, believing that opportunities will be reserved for those who are prepared. However, when he contacted the school and got off the boat, he couldn't do it again. My father needs money to buy a house, my sister needs money to go to college ... and he has to sail again. Later, he went to the oceans all over the world. The first voyage was to load cement and run to America. He spent all day knocking on rust and spraying paint on the ship and sailed for nearly a month before arriving in the United States. At that time, he finally saved enough money to be admitted to a senior sailor and realized his original dream.

About life:

The need for happiness

Find it yourself.

Sailors sometimes have to stay on board for months or nearly a year. If they go to the ocean, it will take longer! But life on the ship is not as boring and tiring as most people think. They usually work 8 hours a day. If you work overtime, you will get overtime pay every month. Ships are all mechanically operated, and the labor intensity is not great. After the ship stops at the port, sailors can go sightseeing and shopping in the port city.

Seafarers' monthly living expenses are not bad, and some people can still have a few hundred yuan left a month. There are chefs and various dishes. Every time I go to a port, I buy fresh vegetables, meat, fish, shrimp, fruit and fresh water on board. Accommodation is also good, each person has a room with complete bedding, and washing powder and soap are provided free of charge. There is also a special laundry room on board, and there are televisions, VCDs, video recorders and gyms on board.

A sailor named "Hai Antenna" told reporters that he has been sailing for more than three years, and his sailing life is hard, but he is also very happy. His life is roughly like this. He gets up at 7 o'clock in the morning to have dinner and goes to work at 7: 45 ~ 1 1: 45. Eat after work and surf the internet after dinner. Sleep at night 1 or so 1 hour. From 2 pm to 5 pm, I have my own project to do. Eat at 5: 30 in the afternoon, get on the bridge after eating, and come down to eat for the first mate. It takes about half an hour. 6 pm to 7: 45 pm, free time. 7: 45 pm ~11:45 pm, go to work and get ready for bed after work. During these free time, he spent a large part of his time surfing the Internet to learn all kinds of news and information, so that when he got home, his relatives and friends chatted with him and were surprised to find that he knew all about domestic and foreign news.

And "Golden Arrow" is good at sketching and painting, and the beauty of the sea has become his good subject. Every time he goes to a port or a foreign country, the beautiful scenery he sees is brought into his paintings. Sailing provided him with many painting materials that others didn't have.

Guoguo is quiet and likes writing. At sea, when he sees the moon, he will think a lot, and he will record the bits and pieces on the ship. Guoguo also brought a DV to the ship ... >>

Question 8: How does the crew work? It's hard work, good pay, irregular and unstable life, especially if you have a date and need to leave her for several months. . .

Question 9: What is a seaman's job like? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Personally, seafarers are not advised. In the eyes of others, seafarers can travel around the world with high salaries.

It's actually a mirage. At present, the shipping market is depressed, and ordinary crew members only have a slight advantage over land (ocean shipping is fine, but domestic trade routes are not dominant at all). The long voyage to the ocean can last nearly February. There is no signal at sea, so I can't contact my family. The ship is in good condition, but it is not good to be on tenterhooks all day. When a big storm comes, you will be frightened, far away from home and displaced.

Question 10: How about being a sailor? Does anyone know? Don't be fooled by people who are tired and have no future at sea.
