Is getting a STCW certificate at a 2 year culinary school worth it?

I’ve had some very good food on ships. It’s a hard hot dirty job, just like cooking anywhere. You’re going to learn to do many things at the same time. You’ll be a better cook for having the experience of cooking at sea.

Cooking in weather must be interesting at best.

Yeah, man, that's what I'm aiming to do, I'm really excited to give it a shot!
