Marine Engineering Technician

[@SailorGerry]

Going through the Engineering Technician training program and, afterward, the minimum naval service requirements (usually a total of 5 years; if I am in error regarding this, then please correct these service requirements), if one elects to transition to the merchant service, the monetary compensation is unbelievable. For example, a 2nd Engineer on a large merchant vessel can easily make C$120k per annum. A Chief Engineer can even make more. There are no degree requirements, only the technical training, sea time requirements and the writing of TC (Transport Canada) certificates, and the burning desire & interest to advance. Sounds like a great stepping-stone to unlimited opportunities everywhere!
