<p>@broadwaybum, MT actually is a ship waiting to sink. So are many other professions. The question really is: how good a swimmer are you and if you can’t swim, how close is the nearest life jacket that you can at least hang on to? </p>
<p>Watching my own kid who is several years ahead of you try to sort that out right now. So far, she’s a very good swimmer. I think she’ll eventually need to also be good at finding the nearest life jacket. And by the way, swimming well includes being able to swim to the survival job. Which means you need to be aggressive enough to get one (expect the competition to be full of people like you in the same boat) and reliable enough to keep it once you get it. </p>
