Seafarers are a niche type of work, and many people have stereotypes about them. How many of the following 4 have the crew in front of the screen met?
1. The monthly salary is extremely high.
There are always voices from the outside world that it is easy for the crew's salary to break 10,000 yuan. In fact, although the general salary of the crew is considerable, it also faces the double test of long-term wandering, dangerous moments at sea, physical and psychological. High returns mean high payouts.
2. Alcoholism.
Many film and television films, ** have portrayed sea crews into characters who love to drink through artistic processing. In reality, there are often random alcohol tests on ships, and some companies strictly prohibit crew members from drinking alcohol. Long-term and frequent drinking will affect the judgment of the crew, and if a mistake occurs, the safety of the whole ship will be endangered. Now the vast majority of ships prohibit "freedom of alcohol".
3. Shallow culture.
Nowadays, most people still think that seafarers are just manual labor and do not need to receive too much cultural education. In fact, any level of crew on board requires systematic Xi theoretical knowledge and practical experience. For the officers, the knowledge learned is more complex and professional, and there are many highly educated talents, who know astronomical navigation knowledge and various nautical chart operations.
4. Swimmer.
How many people still think that the crew must be a good swimmer?The answer may surprise you. Swimming is not an essential skill for seafarers. In case of inclement weather and extreme danger, it is almost impossible for a crew to rely on swimming skills to get to shore or on other vessels. In addition, personal protective equipment (PPE) is always on board each vessel to ensure that seafarers are able to float in the water in the event of an emergency.
After understanding the above points, has everyone's stereotype of the crew been reduced a little?
