It's just different worlds is all. They're pretty hardcore about the work ethic around heeyah. It's part of our culture. It's either keep up or get out of the way.



I was talking with a young fulla a couple of years ago. He works as a stern man on a lobster fishing boat. He had started work at 4:00 am that morning and didn't get back on shore till 6:00 pm that evening. I remarked that it was a long work day for him and that he must be tired. He said he was but that his was a good job. He said that he was only 21 and never finished high school but was making over 100 k. per year.

The clam diggers do pretty well too. They work a tide .... usually 3 hours or so .... and make $ 300.00. They have the rest of the day to themselves to do with as they please.

Anyhow .... it's all about the work and the expectations of others for you to do your job quickly & efficiently. It makes you an expedient person.
