hi /n/
I am enrolling the Galveston maritime academy this Fall. By the time I graduate in four years what do you guys predict the American Merchant Marine will appear like? I was told that engineer officers have good job prospects by the colleges and by some Mariners I know. But I also hear that getting a job at MSC is a bitch and that union jobs are drying up? Is the job scarcity mostly on the unlicensed side or even officers will suffer. btw any Galveston alumni pls tell me how bad the Corp of Cadets is

Go for it, in hindsight I wish I had done that when I was younger (Mass or Maine Maritime Academy). Plus it's getting a new training ship this year so at least you'll be learning on modern equipment vs some old steam rust bucket. The gov't is finally realizing it wasn't a good idea to cede shipbuilding to China so hopefully there will be a renewed emphasis (eg money). Good luck to you
