He is so right. Very few get the chance and some of those fail once they get it. Capt. Phil thrived on it. May he rest in peace.
Amen to that. Hard as hell. I had friends who went to Alaska after highschool to strike it rich on the fishing boats "$20,000 in a month! You won't make that in a year!"...every single one was home within 12 months saying it was horrible. Not everyone has the right combo of skills and huevos for that work.
