An 18 year old with half a brain and a clean head with a little drive can get on a pushboat and make be making $100,000 a year in under 2 years. Pushboat captains make over $500 day closer to $600.

Yep, and pushboat business is crazy right now. Every one f my customers is building boats and barges non stop - the opportunities are endless on pushboats, river or canal.
The big ones like Florida Marine Trans and Kirby Inland Marine have their own school they run the entry level hands through. A little drive and dedication and a fella can bank real quick, Chouest and Harvey offshore tug captains make $1000+ a day!!!!!
