Ex-Seaman Reveals Reason Why he Left Seafaring Although He Earns P400k/Month
Although he earns P400k/month as a chiefmate, an ex-seaman left seafaring because he was not happy at the time.
Seafaring is a respectable profession that has been around for centuries. Seamen are individuals who are trained to operate and maintain ships and other seafaring vessels. They play a critical role in global trade, transportation, and maritime defense.
Seamen are responsible for a wide range of duties while at sea. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that the ship and its cargo arrive safely at their destination. This involves maintaining the ship’s engines, navigation systems, and other mechanical equipment.
They are also responsible for loading and unloading cargo, steering the ship, and performing routine maintenance tasks. Working at sea can be a rewarding experience, but it also presents many challenges.
Seafarers must be prepared to spend long periods away from home and their families. They often work 12-hour shifts, sometimes for weeks or months at a time. This can be mentally and physically exhausting, especially in rough weather conditions.
Many seamen choose to leave the industry for a variety of reasons, including family obligations, health issues, job dissatisfaction, and career change.
Recently, a Facebook user named Isagani Roxas Marquina Jr. revealed why he quit seafaring despite earning almost P400,000 per month. The online community responded in a variety of ways to the message.
Marquina expressed dissatisfaction with his profession because it required him to spend a long time away from his family. Isagani admitted to returning to ‘tipid turu turo’ meals.
“I was not happy then. Something’s missing. Yes, possibleng maging malungkot kahit 400k/month ang sweldo mo. Lalo na kung hindi mo laging kasama ang mga taong gusto mong makasama at kung madalas mong hindi magawa ang mga gusto mo talagang gawin sa buhay,” he said.
