I know the owners or Lafourche Merchant Marine School, they are non-stop busy. everybodies is looking to upgrade thier license.
I didn't know the big boat captains were making that much. When I wasn working in the yard I got to know the captain of the liftbaot we were working on pretty good. He said he was makin $685 a day. I was like damn that's pretty good money. He claims he's underpaid. He said you have to be a safety manager, a mechanic, a hotel manager, a transportation coordinator, a restaurant manager, crane operator, house keeping manager all rolled into one......... plus you need to know how to drive a 150'x90' barge with 3-285' legs sticking up in the air around.
