That needs to be another post, I think?<BR/><BR/>It just seems to me that at least this politician was trying to do something important to get people interested in working in a profitable industry that would give them opportunities they might not have otherwise. When our politicians are lobbied, I can't imagine that such positive outcomes are the result.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm jealous, too. Because you know I want to work on a ship. I think I do.<BR/><BR/>Happy 500th post!tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-38384544274761178592009-03-27T03:01:00.000+01:002009-03-27T03:01:00.000+01:00Thanks for telling us about what's going on in Den...Thanks for telling us about what's going on in Denmark.

(with apologies to the good one who reads this blog) :-) all that "ligestilling" is bad for choosing seafaring as a career.julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-69830224252660290312009-03-26T15:27:00.000+01:002009-03-26T15:27:00.000+01:00I feel as if I could make a meaningful comment but...I feel as if I could make a meaningful comment but I couldn't come up with enough as I'm not as informed about the subject as I should be. that being said...happy 500th!!Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-1138208743944859422009-03-26T15:23:00.000+01:002009-03-26T15:23:00.000+01:00thanks for a interesting post - it's always intere...thanks for a interesting post - it's always interesting to get an insight into something new! (which seafaring is to me) <BR/>I don't get your point number 2 though: why do you mean Danish men are afraid of Danish women, and how does this affect the officers' education?kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445907761440920131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-17992471636264826462009-03-26T14:53:00.000+01:002009-03-26T14:53:00.000+01:00A lot of this sounds like the US as far as lobbyin...A lot of this sounds like the US as far as lobbying, buying and paying for the pork that gets added at the end of stimulus packages. Although not good, it is a relief to know that it is business as usual worldwide. In today's world, seafaring sounds like a difficult job and most likely why many of the younger men don't want to participate.Alicia @ boylerpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494653464202092752noreply@blogger.com
