I live in Maine... Of course you guys probably know by now.

Also.... I did some math.

Spoiler: Show

Marine Engineers make an average of $46 per hour.

They are paid for every second they are on the ship they're maintaining....
And trips last for anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months.
Assuming I work for half of the year (shift)... Here's what I expect to be making :)

46 x 24 x 7 x 4 x 6 = > $185,000
(Wage)(hours)(days)(weeks)(months)

Of course, that's a rough assumption.

Do you know what oil platform engineers earn? Add 50-70k to that. And they have a 6 months shift too.

That's really cool man.



Have fun making it through school, all six years of it. School loans, etc. etc.

[Juggertank]

It's actually a 4 year course.
The school has a 99% pre-graduation Job placement rating for my major.... And we get a paid internship our second year in.

There's a price though.... The school is a pseudo-military lifestyle... Required to get the licensing to actually work where we will be.

...I still want to do something with comp sci. :D

2 hours, that's like I'm driving to the other side of the country...
Since I live in the middle of the Netherlands. Consider that I live 1 hour driving away from everyone here from the netherlands.

I understand you. I also live in a very small country. It takes a couple of hours to drive it from one side to the other.

Depends. I know from stories of my parents and friends and some personal experiences, how much are people in countries with higher standard less social. Or at least not social in the way we look at it. One of my deepest desires is to find well-payed job that will let me live in my city. I do love to travel and I plan to visit live everywhere for a while, but I wish for my residence to remain my town.

That's actually why we have this ****ty standard. It's on the opposite scale to mentality xD

I know why I WANT to move to Sweden.

One day, man, one day

Well I was done with studies and wanted a break before I move on to Uni. I've always wanted to go to Sweden ( I had a few friends at school in Utrecht from Sweden). So I applied for some jobs online and got one outside Stockholm. Found an apartment quite easily, papers was real easy to fix. And now all I want is to get away.

I know that feel, I would do anything to get away from England. I don't hate the country, I just hate the way it's made me. Nothing ever happens where I live. I'd give anything to get away.

Sucks I can't leave until I'm 18 and can actually afford a place.
