possibly going to school

I am 25 kinda getting a late start to this but I am thinking of going to a Massachusettes Maritime Academy

whats your take on going to school and how good is this school?

directly from school

DOES this mean, I become a third mate on ships that sail internationally of unlimited tonnage? and how long does it take to reach the master of Oceans unlimited?

Thanks

thanks for the link.

Can someone tell me the "job description" for third mate and the master of oceans. I am unfamiliar with the terms

thanks again in advance

ahh so about few years of being on the ship as you go up the rank to become a master of oceans unlimited.

that allows you to be on ANY SHIP? (minus hazardous and towing?)
