A BOAT

almost 9 years

I currently have a job offer to work for 6 months on a cruise ship as a sound engineer for entertainment. The job is decent pay, accomodation, breafast, lunch and dinner included and use of ship facilities such as the gym and library. I'd also be able to have time to explore the places we stop off.

The downsides that obviously I wouldn't be able to leave the boat for 6 months other than the designated time on shore as I'm contracted to work 7 days a week during the contract, I'd have to share a cabin with another engineer and they tend to be 40+ year old guys, internet isn't included so I would have to pay a per minute fee to use it and there is no phone signal so I wouldn't be able to regularly speak to my gf.

Should I go for it or not?

If you dont really love your girlfriend you should do it there'll becougars and bored daughters and what not on board so i'm sure you'll find something to play with. The internet would only suck for a couple weeks then you'd just get used to it.

No, why go on a cruise ship where you're secluded from everyone you know including your girlfriend to live with 40+ year old men?

Money and to build my engineering portfolio.

You listed almost all negatives though in your post I think you already know your answer - seriously though you'll have other opportunities that don't effectively remove you from your life for half a year.
