Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent 10 years working at sea on cruise ships, and now I am at university at the ripe old age of 31.

The beautiful thing about cruise ships is you just wake up and you're in a new destination. You don't have to plan any of the logistics.

Working the long hours that you have to work on a cruise ship is going to give you an amazing work ethic.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider working on a cruise ship to gain independence and travel before committing to university debt.

✓Use cruise ship work to build a routine while seeing new destinations daily.

✓Don't feel pressured by social media or peers to follow a traditional university path immediately at 18.
