Queen Mary 2 -- Staying Ship Shape

RIT has been running co-op programs for its students on a cruise ship since 1987. Following a 10-week training course at RIT's Rochester, NY, campus, students are assigned to the ship for six months. Both Unterborn and Neugebauer worked on the Queen Elizabeth 2 before their current tour of duty. They have no expenses for lodging, meals, travel, laundry, etc.; only for what they spend when they go ashore. But it's a life best suited to being single.
