thanks for the lively discussion regarding the current status of licensing, supply and demand for captains and the like...
now...what advice can the group give to those of us (41 yrs old and older) who wish to enter the industry for the first time?
I am also 41 and have been in the industry years ago and want to reenter full time. I get the same old thing from all the crew agencies....that my age is a barrier!!!!
I am a qualified Master of Yachts 200t, PADI Dive Instructor, STCW, Chiropractor. I have experience including crossings. I am prepared to do deck work for a while to prove my worth and work my way up. I am willing , eager, capable, fit and healthy!! I am looking for my break!!! Any offers?
