Abstract	"This article examines how young Filipino men looking to work in international seafaring deploy servitude as a means of attaining education-to-work transition. It focuses on those applying to work for free as 'utility men' (gofer or flunkey) in Manila's manning and crewing agencies that supply seafarers to ship operators around the world in exchange for the promise of boarding a ship. Based on participant observation and life history interviews, the article accounts for how they transform their servitude into diskarte - strategy by which they navigate the limited employment opportunities in the Philippines - by constructing their 'utility manning' as an informal and negotiated pathway to employment. The young Filipino men's seeking and enduring servitude, geared towards gleaning better social possibilities, becomes a profoundly rational act of investing in and securing their future."
