Business outlook
Pros
Instant middle class; allows you to take care of your family with minimum out of pocket expense. Decent salary. Opportunity to travel to various countries around the world. Virtually unlimited opportunties for higher education; as well as, money for higher education after your time is completed; however there is a 10 year on completing your degree or certification.
Cons
Long hours, inital low starting pay, sporatic deployments, and fledging part support. There are new classes of ships coming out, but as the ships become more modern personnel are losing out on knowing their job due to becoming only operators and minimum interaction as technicians.
