I was reading through the questions and answers to marine engineering?
I started in 1969 and left in 1986. I didnt find anything that was a sacrifice. Some say that you have to work 7 days a week - so what, thats the job. Others say that its a huge responsibility - it is in the higher ranks but you dont have to accept promotion. Then theres time away from home for months; if you cant do without social media or the attentions of your girlfriend/wife/mother/partner then its not the life for you. for me? Best job in the world, and I worked in it for 50 years.
