A Pirate's Life for Me?

Sometimes the best thing to do is to sell everything you own and just hit the road. You know, break free from this thing that you call "your life". I'm feeling just like that, and I think I may have found just the ticket: Working on a Cruise ship as an acupuncturist...

The Pro's:
No rent, no utilities, no food costs, free gym access, the open ocean (good for a Pisces like myself), world travel, and the chance to amass some major cash.

The Con's:
Loooonnnng hours, no land, a finite sized ship, old people, and an increased risk of meeting Barry Mannilow.

I'm checking it out as an option. Stay tuned, maybe my new posts will be via the oceans of the world.

i checked it out as an option last year, and my two roommates were seriously committed to doing it, and after talking to some people who had done it, decided not to.

also, there are two companies that hire acupunks for cruises, so be sure to check both.

maybe you should talk to my roomies?

the option of working the medicine AND being in the carribean is very alluring, don't i know it.
