I have friends who are regular tug/pushboat captains making well over $100,000 yr. Work 1/2-2/3 year.

Depending on the company, sure. Get on with a local one that’s just pushing barges up and down the river and you have a better shot at working with competent people. Get on with someone huge like Kirby and you’re tanking for 5ish years with a bunch of filth and uneducated assholes before you can make captain.

I was talking to a guy once on a tug who said the captain routinely would shite in a bucket and make the deckhands come up to the wheelhouse and empty the bucket into a garbage bag and bring it down to throw it away. They treat you like complete horseshite when you’re green.
