    Those jobs are brutal. That is why is those positions are always filled by people who live in parts of the world that offer little hope for a future. I do know that the turnover rate is tremendous. They do make the person sign a contract and that means they own them for the duration of the contract. But they do make fairly decent money. Knowing this has always made me a better than average tipper for those services when we have been on cruises.

    maybe, but it's doubtful. they usually require some experience and a good work history, after all it's not like they can get someone to replace you very fast.
    also you have to sign a 3-9 month contract.
    also, most people who work on those ship do what would usually be considered two jobs.
