Over the last few trips at sea I?ve been starting to enjoy the job less and less and have been seriously considering making a move ashore. Me and my girlfriend have been talking about what will happen when we start a family which isn?t that far away. I want to spend more time with her and my family and also once we have kids I dread to think about leaving them for 6 weeks at a time. I also don?t like the thought of once im 60, I?ll have spent over 20 years of my life onboard a ship.
I was wondering whether you fine people could give me some advice on what career paths people often take when moving ashore?. I was thinking along the obvious lines of shipping office, port control, MCA, coastguard, cargo inspectors etc Or even were to start looking for jobs. It may also help to know that I?m a Deck Officer not an Engineer.
Thanks =)
