How can you become an officer on ships like crusie ships?
I’m a 23 years old woman. I worked on crusie ships in the bar as a bar server/bar tender for 2 contracts. I wanna work on ships in the future, but in an other position, like an officer (for example safety officer). What kind of schools do I have to complete for that? Please give me some examples/idea for schools. I live in Hungary but as I know there is no maritime academy here, only for small ships like yachts etc. I’m happy if you can give similar job ideas as well. I really appreciate every answer. Thank you!

How is the career stability and longevity for Merchant Mariners?
I'm transferring to a Maritime Academy in the fall and if there are any Merchant Mariners on here I'd love to know the relative stability and longevity with the career whether that's with a degree in terms of an Officer or an AB sailor. I think this might be a bit of a longshot since it's not a well-known career but I might as well ask. I'm going in for a Marine Transportation degree so it would be a deck officer. Thanks! #maritime #career #marine
