They graduate to six figure salaries, and grueling work

I'm slated to attend a maritime academy in the fall. Between this article and the Wall Street Journal article from last year, it seems like a good time to become a merchant mariner in the U.S. However, I've seen feedback on this subreddit that says there aren't a lot of jobs right now and the pay isn't as good as the academies are saying. Thoughts?
