If you read about how much money seafarers are making just understand that that is not true at all ! I have worked in the merchant marine for years and it is fucking awful!There are very few jobs and even fewer good jobs! You will suffer enormously. I really hope the jones act gets repealed. Fuck this industry I fucking hate it! Worst decision of my life!
I'm considering SUNY Maritime. I have several questions because I'm not super sure about what I want to do. I'm going to do engineering. Thinking M.E. degree. I want to build things or become a Navy aviator. First question: Will that degree and a 3rd AE license help me land a job at a ship builder, electric boat, defense contractor, etc? I would imagine the license/understanding how ship works would help you get a job. Has anyone taken this path? For those who've done NROTC at Maritime, what are chances of becoming a pilot? I heard it's a very good NROTC program.
Alright so I’m in my mid 20s (unc status ik) and an airline pilot.
I absolutely love flying, I don’t have any interest in leaving my career. But I’ve lived by the ocean most of my life and maritime is something that just seems interesting to me. I already have my bachelors, would it be a waste of time/money if I got a masters in maritime and naval studies? Just for personal fulfillment and to learn more about the industry? Getting the license alongside it isn’t an option because I’d have to quit my job lol.
I hate this industry with a passion. I don't know why this academy even exist! This industry is the absolute worst job ever! This job doesn't pay well at all and then the cherry on top is it's really tiny not growing industry! I hope the jones act get repealed and the taxpayers can stop funding this school! I hate this industry with a passion!
Should I be worried about failing tnav and not making it on my mug cruise?
What percentage of mugs don't end up making it on mug cruise? I'm also a little worried about pre-calc because we have to pass pre-Calc to take tnav.
No simulators. No passing grades. Either navigate well or go hungry.
I am hoping to use my GI bill for a graduate degree. I can’t find anywhere as to whether or not the Grad programs with the licensing option satisfy the full time student requirement for the GI bill.
I emailed the school and they didn’t have a great answer. I know that Maritime and Naval Studies is all online from what I heard. I think Shipping and logistics can be either online or in person? I just want to know whether or not the grad programs with license count as a full time degree.
Also was wondering what jobs exist for Maritime and Naval Studies on the shore side compared to the shipping and logistics degree. Do grad students go for shoreside options more than undergrad students?
