The Maritime IndustryA lot has changed in the world since Mark Twain traveled up and down the Mississippi, inspiring him to write about the adventures of Tom Sawyer and "Workboats" include more than just tugboats. From tiny sailboats to huge carriers, there are dozens of different kinds of workboats, and each is the "office" for a number of people working in different jobs. If you're interested in the water and a bit of adventure, a maritime career might appeal to you. Of course, it takes other people for the workboat industry to run as well. Where would the world be without ferries? How many vacationers would be disappointed if cruise ships didn't exist? Who would protect the seas without the Navy? Don’t forget that there needs to be engineers, shipbuilders, and dockhands to make the world go 'round as well! One can't overlook the thousands of people dedicated to training students at maritime schools and maritime academies either. A nice thing to remember is that the skills you learn in your maritime job are transferable from one sector of the industry to another. For instance, your experience on a cargo or some other kind of vessel could help you find a fishing boat job. Want to learn more?
