Part IV Lobster: Product of Nicaragua

Life is tough and very hard, for my wife, children and I. I’m gone for ten to twelve days at a time, my children are growing up too much while I’m gone. Both my wife and I feel very lonely while I am away. The only positive thing about this job as a lobster diver is that I get to support my family. The two worst things about this job is that I can’t be with my family a lot and the training of the job is very poor, also the technology or equipment is very poor. The training is very brief and not very safe. The companies that give us this jobs do not care about our health or families all they care about is their money. The most dangerous thing about being a lobster diver is that it is very common for us to get injuries that could kill us or even paralyze us. This is a very dangerous job! I do not like it, and I will never like it but sometimes you have go on and do what you have to do to support your family. The companies do not understand that I am the supporter in my family I have children to support and also a wife. If I get hurt and she leaves me I will not be okay. This is a job that I have to have and I have to earn money to support my family.
