I'm not bagging on the poster, but I wish I had a dollar for every time people I used to work with start to hear about our QOL, and then decide to get interested in NK, AFTER giving me a ration of sh1t for coming here over the "Big 3"....
I had no less than 17 days off in the last 6 months...
I have 10 days off in a row right now....
I bypassed captain 3 times..
2.7 years on property....
I have not spent the night in a hotel or away from home in 4 months...
Income? Well, it's not bad....

Think of this profession like another..
A doctor for example...
One goes to NYC and makes a killing working 6 days a week and long days..
The other opens a small private practice in their home town and spends lots of time at home...
1 makes a fortune in money the other makes a fortune in life...
It's all about what YOU desire out of your career...
