    Maybe. But wouldn’t you rather be paid if you have to shit in an outhouse while endlessly smelling penguin shit for five months while you deal with a bunch of idiot tourists who think a cruise to Antarctica is a good idea?

      Nah, I do it for the love of the game. No need to sully it with greed.

          Where are you gonna spend your income in Antarctica anyway? I wouldn’t mind this. I worked on a cruise ship and, while I did get paid every week, most of the time was out at sea and since all the restaurants and shit on the ship were free to me, I wasn’t spending a dime until my contract was up and I went home.

            You would likely still have to pay rent for your home that you are leaving.
