If you’re going for 3/M instead of 3/AE go to SUNY or Texas. Those are both well connected with the two major shoreside job centers, New York City and Houston. Be prepared for not getting a 3/M job out of school. Maine isn’t close to anything, and in a competitive market a NYC/Stamford ship brokerage shop, owner/charterer likely has SUNY grads in the office and may recruit from SUNY first. My buddy from KP (19 grad) is a bunker trader in Stamford. No chance he would be in that spot if he was from outside the NY/NJ/CT area.
