Money is a fundamental concern in life and with any job. And unless
you happen to be a trust fund baby with a silver spoon in your mouth
(and if that was the case, you wouldn't be visiting this website), the
salary of a job is important. Yes, you can enjoy your job. But chances
are that most of us don't enjoy our jobs so much that we'd be happy to
work for free...for the mere satisfaction and pleasure of coming to
work every day. No sir, we like to get paid. And because working on
tugboats and other maritime industry jobs requires high levels of skill,
knowledge and can expose us to risks, we'd like to get paid well for it.
We've provided some information here that comes from the U.S.
Department of Labor statistics for jobs across the country.
Remember that this is nationwide statistical information of wages
and salaries. The wages and salaries that you may see with
transportation companies or employment recruitment companies can
vary. Factors that will affect wages and salaries for a given position
include geography, scarcity or density of labor pool and if those
positions are sought by other competing industries. Keep in mind that
these are general titles. You have to understand the Department of
Labor doesn't maintain information for industry-specific jobs, such as
QMED, tankerman, barge mate, tugboat dispatcher.

What do people say in
business, "Show me the
money". Of course, at other
times, you may also hear
people say things like, "It's not
about the money." The latter is
something "high-principled"
people usually say when they're
suing someone for a lot of
money and don't want others to
go through what they went
through, as they sob crocodile
tears at a press conference
flanked by their attorneys. "Yeah
right.... it's not about the money!"
Well, it IS about the money!
