I need a career, and after some time stumbled upon the Merchant Navy. I looked about and it seemed like a perfect option - travel, responsibility, a clear promotion plan, plenty of time off - what could be wrong? I applied to SSTG yesterday and heard back today, inviting me for an interview. Great.
The problem is I'm suddenly terrified of it. I have no idea why. Am I simply worried about stepping outside of my comfort zone or is it the wrong choice? I have no problem with leaving home and being away for some time, I've done university before and homesickness never bothered me. I don't mind being stuck on a ship, with people I don't know from backgrounds I don't know anything about. I am worried that after wasting three years of my life getting a degree in a subject I have lost interest in (Physics, I hate it past first year level although I still love the origins) that I'm about to do the same again.
Please try to convince me one way or another. I don't mind if you talk me into it or out of it, I just need to know which way I want to go.
For those more experienced, would you do it all again given the chance?
