Casinos never existed in ancient days. The bourgeois class used to gamble in each other's house or on street while the upper section or wealthy gaming aficionados got separate houses and rooms built to play. However with the advent of new games of...

Cruise Jobs
Recently, the United States armed forces has been plugging
"joining up" as a great way to see the world and gain valuable
life experience. While there is no doubt that these things are
true, there are a couple of other ways that you can see the
world and gain great life experience without putting your life
in harms way on a daily basis. One of these ways is getting a
job aboard a cruise ship. There are many different exciting
careers to choose from on a cruise ship, and while it is a full
time position, meaning you are probably not going to work just
forty hours a week, you will most likely receive free room and
board, free on ship medical care, and you will get to travel the
world and meet exciting new people, all while getting paid.
In each cruise ship there are three departments that all of the
positions get divided into: the deck, hotel, and engine
department. Each of these departments has a supervisor. The
staff captain runs the deck, and is also the person that the
hotel manager and the chief engineer report to. It is unlikely
that you will be able to get a job as an officer or captain
without a degree from a naval academy. However, there are
several entry level jobs that you can get with the help of the
Seaman's Union in the deck and engine. Most of the entry level
positions will be in the hotel department, which consists of
several departments. The Hotel department encompasses all of the
following:
* Administration * Purser's Office * Cruise Staff * Entertainers
* Food
Department * Bar Department * Dining Room * Housekeeping
* Medical Staff * Salon * Gift Shops * Photography * Casino *
Shore Excursions * Tour Office
Most people work their way up from an entry level position, but
people fall into cruise ship careers from all different walks of
life and backgrounds. Obviously, someone from the medial
department is not going to work their way up in the salon
department without some additional training. However, there is
room for growth in almost all of the departments. One of the
most important things about working on a cruise ship is to have
an outgoing personality. In a fast paced travel environment like
a cruise ship, it is important to be outgoing and flexible. With
that in mind, you will be able to go far.
People who have worked on cruise ships often highlight the
benefits of working on them as travel, sightseeing, meeting new
people all of the time, having free living expenses and
recreation, and getting to know their co workers in a close knit
environment. While you often need to make a commitment of a
minimum of four months, there is often a break of four to six
weeks before your next contract, and you have no living expenses
while on contract so you have quite a bit of expendable income
while on your break.
