Captains of large fishing vessels like this one require special Coast Guard–approved training.

Some commercial fishing jobs are seasonal, such as those that happen only during the summer. For that reason, people who are on vacation during the summer, such as college students, can work those jobs during the warm season. After working a few seasons and acquiring valuable experience, you can apply for a full-time position with a bigger operation, such as a fishery.
