There are pros and cons to each career. The right stream must be chosen by an individual commensurate with his interest in that specific area of study followed by work. Merchant marine offers a lot of job options from technical to non-technical professionals. Radio officers, captains, able-bodied seamen, chefs, first mate and second mate are the kind of jobs that are available to the interested people. You are the best judge of your capabilities, so choose your stream accordingly. Some positions come with high responsibilities and you should be ready to deliver your best. Regards.

Admission for a position in the merchant navy is through an entrance followed by a screening test and a main written examination. After clearing the test, there is an interview and a medical test.

There are 2 departments: on board of a ship and the non technical department head I e chief officer becomes the captain. The technical department or the engine department deals with maintenance and repair of machinery and the highest rank is chief engineer. As far as salary is concerned, both (Chief and captain) have the same salary if they hold same years of experience. However, captains are the ones who are owners/representatives who distribute the salary on board. Although captain has full control on board the ship, but a chief engineer has got better prospects ashore when dealing as a ship superintendent.
