Two words: Merchant Marine. Civilian jobs working on commercial ships, working 6 months out of the year, excellent paying jobs and traveling to all the corners of the world. Responsible for much of the worlds trade as we know it. Transport of full containers of various items, automobiles and oil to name a few. Humanitarian missions are also conducted delivering food to poor countries in need. Oxford of all places should be very aware of the merchant fleet seeing as how they are essentially located on part of a giant island. Very disappointed that these jobs were not mentioned.
Thank you for the details and descriptions, Dewayne. Our categories were broad so this specific area wasn’t on our radar. If we decide to do a follow up, we’ll incorporate it and possibly reach out to you for more information. Thanks again!
