    I am not a musician but I am really interested in other cruise ships opportunities. What are the chances for a regular student like me to get on a cruise ship? Are there any other offers available?

    There aren't many Americans on the cruise ships. The reason is that the jobs other than musicians, art directors, and cruise director staff pay less than minimum wage and they work 11+ hour days because the ships don't fall under U.S. labor jurisdiction. You would make more part-time at McDonalds.

    They say a man should always dress for the job he wants
    So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant
    It's all because some hacker stole my identity
    Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and ice tea
    Should'a gone to free credit report dot com [wee haw]
    I could'a seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb
    They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts
    So you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts

    I think that the NT Daily site has fallen victim to crowdsourcing. I'm not quite sure of the benefits gained by the people who are paying the people who are posting, though.
