There is a yuuuuuge difference between a tugboat captain and a riverboat pilot.
The tug captain might make $100k. The riverboat pilot is going to pull $350k.

Tugboat cpt with an unlimited license can make up to 1,000/ day and work as much as they care to
But you have to work as a deckhand for a few years first to get your hours and they start closer to $100/ day
