Switched to the plumbing department of the shipyard three weeks ago. They mostly work on valves, pipes, and sea chest maintenance. This department basically ensures your boat doesn't sink due to the various water requirements, which include cooling and hygiene.
I hope to switch to the welding department in a few months.
Getting your hands dirty to stack sats 💪. Aiming to improve your position is also nice, good attitude dude!

I want to learn as much as I can on my way to having my own vessel. With the shipyard generally understaffed, I can contribute to any department I go, I only need to persuade the supervisor and GM to allow it.

This seems like a cool job, how did you start?

I have the benefit of living in South Florida. More specifically, I start a marine engineering course at broward college in January of 2020, learning all the various systems of boats through the year.
I applied for the job I have in September, started working September 16. Then I found out about the apprenticeship program put on by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, which my company participates in, and took advantage of that to further learn, network, and accelerate my career.
I want to start a business geared towards bitcoiners with boats and yachts.
