I wish it was mermaids and sea monsters, I've experienced discrimination based on my ethnicity from other officers, and seen it take place towards crew, and I am not willing to enter an industry where this is tolerated, as well as finding the career unrewarding. In addition safety things I've seen are questionable. I am considering going the modular route for many obvious reasons. I am hoping that skills learnt at sea may put me in a stronger position, but I just cannot stick it out. I've come to a thought similar to MaverickPrime in that happiness trumps money.
