Marine engineering or ETO or IT merchant navy after getting a bachelor's in an unrelated subject
I am 22F currently in my final year in CS (computer science). I basically do not see a future in this field, and have always had, and want to keep tech related stuff as hobbies, not as a competitive professional mastery. So admittedly, choosing to study CS due to sheer lack of guidance from trusted adults was an unfortunate mistake I made.
Now, I see many people pursue merchant navy degrees even at mature ages, after they had degrees in unrelated subjects. That inspired me to actually consider doing another 3-4 years of diploma or bachelor's degree in marine engineering, instead of completely giving up on life, which I was (still kind of am) on the verge of. This is mainly because on ship jobs that have months on and months off routine sound very appealing to me.
The problem is, in my region, there are strict age and height requirements for admissions in the maritime schools, which makes getting education in my own country unfeasible. Which is why I must seek my education abroad.
My main question is: has anyone pursued a diploma or a bachelor's in marine engineering (or nautical science, any relevant degree as I need to know if doing this is possible) abroad in UK or Singapore, after some unrelated undergrad degree, specifically coming from south/south east asia? And then gotten a job on ships?
I mentioned UK and Singapore since their schools admit international students, as per my knowledge so far.
