Sea view, limbe |
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen around the world. Fellow mariners aspiring for the spark of greatness. The is more to life than what the sea can offer. After all we all where born on solid soil.
If SEA GOING is the goal and maybe due to some unexpected circumstances it fails what else can still be done with respect to the field you specialized in.? Have you every though of this before?
Maritime institutes all across the world produce hundreds of new deck cadets and marine engineers each year. Each of these recent graduates aspires to one day make it big in the maritime industry by becoming a top-notch seafarer.
With their newfound knowledge and training, these officers join reputable maritime companies' ships, work for a few years, and try to advance their ranks. Despite very lucrative job offers, an exciting working environment, and a "globetrotting" lifestyle, the majority of these sailors prefer to leave their ship positions and take jobs ashore. This trend is gaining traction and can now be found in a number of nations throughout the world.
As the number of seafarers leaving the profession rises year after year, we wonder what motivates people to leave such a prestigious and rewarding vocation after only a few years at sea. While some of the causes we discovered are common and obvious, there are a few that are novel and surprising.
We enumerated the following primary issues that concern seafarers today after conducting a study that included a number of sea-going professionals who have already quit or are preparing to quit their jobs at sea.
Please keep in mind that we are not implying that a career in the maritime business is not worthwhile. In fact, we feel that a career in merchant navy is the best career opportunity one can get.
