<p>To piggyback on Sea Year, aside from the travel benefits, the hands-on work experience is extraordinary. DS just left Japan and is on his way to South Korea - he’s going completely around the world. Every time we speak with him, he enthusiastically tells us about what he is learning in the engine room (5 stories high)and HOW MUCH he is learning, “tons”. This was key to him in selecting KP over other schools. He embraced the notion of having breaks from sitting in a classroom for 4 straight years; he likes putting his education to task…the plus is that he’s getting paid for it too! But he’s earning it for sure.</p>
