Crabs , Money and Death..
Doing an MBA naturally makes u curious about other jobs, wat these jobs entitle and how much they pay. After all.. wat we do most of the time is talk about job profiles...career goal paths.. salaries.. increments and blah.. blah ..blah.
So wat wud u say about a job wit the following description:
Around 5- 10 days of work per year.
Stand to make between 25000 - 100000$.
Probability of dying-100%
Probabilty of suffering grievous injury-200%
No sleep... guaranteed emotional trauma.
Iam not making this up.. the job Iam refering to is king and snow crab winter fishing in the Bering Sea.
It is statistically the most dangerous job in the world.Someone almost always dies whenever these guys set out.
Seeing how the job pays.. there is no dearth of takers for the job.
Every winter the race starts.. with a fixed fishing quota for each season.. fishing ships compete with each other to get maximum share.
In such a competitive situation.. sleep is obviously a luxury. Fishermen develop a condition in which their eyes r fixed in the staring position.. they r unable to blink.Another condition is wen ur arms freeze.. and apparently the only way out, in theabsence of any medical help, is to pee on them. :-)
wat the heck.. the money is gud.. any takers??
