[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maritime transportation with coast guard license. 6 figures after graduation working 6 months a year on a boat. [/quote] I know several kids who went to SUNY Maritime and are doing very well. Can be a 2 or 4 year program. [/quote] I agree with this. Ditto for King's Point or other maritime schools. Tremendous shortage of USCG licensed mariners. MSC has started to park several if their ships long term - simply because they cannot find a crew for the ship. [/quote] Military Sealift Command is part of the Dept of Navy, but it has *civilian* crews for its US Flag ships. Typical MSC direct employees are civil service jobs which top out at GS-15. MSC also contracts with commercial shipping companies (like Matson and Maersk) which operate their own US Flag merchant ships with their own crews. Pretty much the entire US merchant shipping industry is unionized, so those are all good jobs. [/quote]
