Getting into the Marine scene

[lamborg]

Pardon me if this isn’t in the right section.

So I want to take up Marine jobs as a career. The problem is, I have no idea about how to go about it. I am interested in the Navigation sector more than the others but I think that’s something to be worried about for later. For now, I just need to get into the Marine scene.
A little info, I am from India, so the education path might be different from the US (I think most of the members here are Americans) but still, give me a little push in the right direction.
I have completed my Engineering from Physics which is a 4 years Bachelor’s degree (aka BSc). My interest doesn’t lie in the Navy/Army sector which might have been a good start.

Any information, suggestion or anything at all would be helpful.

Thanks!

everyone should note how I did not reply to this post…what you are witnessing is the kinder, gentler c.captain of 2015 today!

however if you are expecting it to last you are surely going to be terribly disappointed
