I live on an overloaded island thousands of miles from anywhere else metropolitan, so no I cannot just hook my thumb and hitch a ride with a trucker across the vastness of some flyover states to get to new opportunities.



Go to the docks, eventually someone might need a hand on a yacht/sailboat, even if it takes awhile.


I might as well just lift my own boot straps and fly away to Utopia.


Not sure how that's utopic. I escaped an overpriced west coast hell hole by working on a fishing boat. Hard work but it works.
