О книге

Seeing the World while Still in College...and Getting Paid details the fun and occasionally harrowing adventures of a young man as he travels the world working on a Navy vessel in the summers to pay for his tuition. From floating restaurants to shark-filled canals, the life of a radio officer aboard the U.S.N.S. Darby is packed with action and romance that would make any college student today jealous, for this isn"t your typical internship, not by a long shot.Taking place just after World War II, Bob"s journey to the ends of the earth is filled with lore and tall tales, truths and consequences. He must rely on the advice and information not of a series of blog posts or well-edited travel books, but upon the words of crewman Taylor, a brawny rapscallion with a knack for pranks, and First Officer Sinclair, only slightly less mischievous.As the ship sails from New York to Japan, from England to Caracas, Bob"s eyes and mind widen with each port-of-call. He has dinner in a geisha house, breakfast with a German prostitute and her family. He finds women wherever he goes, and more than a few times barely escapes the next day with his clothes on. He learns about customs he"s never known and places he never dreamed of. And as the ship moves forward, so does he.Seeing the World... reminds us that life itself is a journey, and that opportunities exist in the strangest places. Often, risking comfort for adventure pays off, and we should never be afraid to climb aboard the ship of our choosing-even if we can"t always see what"s beyond the horizon.
