When I was in high school, I worked for a tug boat company that moved barges from So. Texas all the way to Vicksburg, Miss. Since they had 30 on and 15 off similar to what you said, we could come in and keep the boat running during the summer while the regular crew took their break.

Really hard work but making $16 per day in '57 for a 16 year old high school kid, it wasn't bad at all. And they really knew how to chow you down. Additionally I liked the adventure.

I didn't pursue it as a career (but thought about it) because I was in love and couldn't stand to be away from my girl friend (now wife of 44 years) for 30 days at a time.
