You are setting yourself up for a life of isolation with one of the absolute worst careers for pickup. There is a reason sailors end up as divorced, child support owing, overweight scumbags. You can't remove yourself from women for months on end and then expect to make up for it. It's doesn't work like that. The rest of the world doesn't care you are on some sort of job hiatus, you will be lumped in with the rest of the unemployed milling about in the middle of the day. There are plenty good paying careers, if you can't give up a couple of extra bucks now you deserve what you get.
And most seamen I know are not fat or divorced or child supporting.Life its not just picking up girls and having sex.
My biggest problem is that I am young and I would prefer to be in the land not only for the women but cause I am isolated from the society.But there is that thoughts inside my mind I know a bunch of guys that continued that job until they were 30 year old.With that system 6 months in-out the vessel but when they reached 30 they found a land based job with shitload of money but in order to find that job they had to pass through the sea in order to connect with the merchant marine jobs of the land that they pay you well.
That's why I am willing to sacrifice my self.
Of course it would be better to stay on the land and get a lot of money but I will have to start from the scratch to start A NEW life out of nowhere how I can do this?I was bad student at high school so I do not have many options(I cannot just abandon my academy and enter another one I have limited choices)
Tell me your opinion what you would do in my position?
