There is no doubt that being a Croupier sounds like a very glamorous life and job to many people. The reality is something rather different of course as inner city land based casinos are often populated by many types of people who you would not want to be around.
But yet there is no doubt that becoming a Croupier is something that is not only accessible for the ordinary person but it can also lead to a very exciting life. I have known several people personally who were fully trained up in the UK and got their experience there and then left and went to work on the cruise ships.
This was a life that attracted many people although most of them came back to the UK at some future point in time. Imagine sailing around the Mediterranean or the Caribbean seas and being paid to do so.
The downside to life on cruise ships is that the hours can be long and there is nowhere to go except on deck or to your cabin. So I can understand how the novelty would wear off after a few weeks or months of doing this.
But then again I have also spoken to people who have worked on cruise ships and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. So I suppose that this indicates that they do not suit everyone. If you do not like long hours or life on the sea then cruise ships are not going to be for you. But a certain type of person could find this life very rewarding and exciting.
