What do you want to be when you grow up? This question is so overrated! Well of course you don’t know what career you want to pursue if you don’t know where to start or if you don't know much about it. I welcome you to "Like A Boss" Podcast. Where we go behind the scenes of jobs and the reality of a day's work in the life of that professional. I am your host Valerie and let's get to work!
Boss #5 Cruise Ship Crewmember. How To Get The Job and Living On A Ship In Hawaii
This episode has a little twist to it. Instead of inviting a special guest to talk about the behind the scenes of their career, I share one of my favorite past jobs; working (and surviving) on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship! At nineteen, I flew across the country to live on a giant vacationing vessel and voyage around the Hawaiian islands. I hope my stories about serving in the restaurant department, living off peanut butter sandwiches, and training with the U.S. Coast Guard excites you. If you've been looking for the perfect road trip podcast, this is it! Get ready to laugh, cry, and apply to work on a cruise ship yourself, because it truly was "the life."
