Marine engineering career
Hi there, I am currently a student in New Zealand studying last year of college, and am wondering about studying a course of maritime engineering in university and eventually a career, and wondering what it is actually like and wether it would be something suitable/enjoyable for me, I am pretty keen on pretty much anything with a engine, welding and fabrication and enjoy fishing off my boat and working on that. What is life actually like working in industry, and what are the advantages/disadvantages of a career in this compared to more traditional home every night kind of jobs. Further, is there plenty of options in industry for work that isn’t based on ships and you do go home every night. Does it at all get repetitive or boring more than a standard job would ? I’m pretty keen to travel as well so is that something that fits well with a career in maritime engineering? Just trying to figure out my options and had seen a decent bit about this and thought it could be something that would be cool and interesting to do and also sounds like pay is decent so that is a bonus.
Cheers for the help
