Is the employment scope of maritime technology major too narrow?

I am a senior at Western Polytechnic University. Let me tell you, it is good for girls to learn sailing. There are many employment directions, and it is not narrow at all as the title says:

Customer service departments and sales departments of liner companies,

Freight forwarders, shipping agencies, transportation departments of major cargo owners,

Marine transportation Broker,

Maritime Safety Administration, Customs,

Insurance, adjuster,

After boarding the ship, he returned to school to teach...

The question is, which one is best for you? Will you like this job?

Doing a job you don’t like very much for a salary is always vulnerable.

It is true that sailing girls are a little less popular, but don’t limit your horizons to a narrow major!

Yan Fu studied marine engineering at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Lu Xun also studied marine engineering at the Jiangnan Naval Academy before studying medicine. President Cai Cunqiang also had an undergraduate degree in navigation but managed to win a professorship in China at the same time. Captain, the first person to obtain three maritime lawyer certificates, teacher Hu Zhengliang is the treasure of the law school and also has a sailing background...

Undergraduate students can download it from the website of the school's Academic Affairs Office and the Graduate School and postgraduate course selection schedule/list of all courses, including information such as class times, classrooms, and teachers. It is highly recommended to take professional core courses taught by great teachers on maritime law, Air China and of course navigation. Even for the same course, different teachers have very different teaching styles. For example, the focus and thinking of those who are practicing and studying law are different.

Now let me talk about some of the national examinations. If you don’t like it, don’t criticize it. There is a huge difference between undergraduate and postgraduate examinations.

Undergraduates have an advantage in public examinations, especially fresh undergraduates. It is very easy to succeed in the examination. Publicly speaking, 80% of the Maritime Safety Bureau has undergraduates, and there are about 10 graduate students and above. For junior college students, the Maritime Safety Bureau generally only has the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Bureau, and there are very few positions (very few, and they require three or more officers). Coastal areas generally have A ship's certificate of competency is required. In the Maritime Safety Administration examination, undergraduate students are better than junior college students.

As a big company in the civil service, the Maritime Safety Administration takes great care of undergraduates in navigation because they are very professional, and other majors hate us. Maritime recruits more people and applies less, and the admission rate is high. For non-navigation majors, It is very unfriendly. There are restrictions on majors, academic qualifications, and certificates of competency. They will not be able to pass the review, let alone the exam. There are also many transfers. After all, there are many positions. In the past two years, the number of national civil servants has dropped sharply, with 28,000 people in 2017. , there were only 14,000 people in 2018, but the number of people in the Maritime Safety Administration continues to increase. The number of people has expanded from more than 700 to more than 800. You feel that it is not much compared with the national tax. I heard that there are only 16 universities with bachelor's degrees in navigation. What do you think? Except for the four major navigation colleges, which have a class of 400, it is good to basically have two classes. Not everyone wants to take the civil service exam and not everyone can pass it.

For non-navigation majors, the required scores are very high, usually around 130, and there are very few positions. It seems that everyone is doing the same thing, and it is too hard for them. But most of them are in office halls, so that's not the case. It’s very clear

If you pass the national examination, you can basically get into the interview. It is not easy for other national examination departments to get in, but we should count it as a national civil servant who is quite easy in the national examination, with a score of 95 or above in the national examination If you get a score of 115+, you have a good chance of admission. In some popular areas, there are very few people with a score of 130. Even in the Shenzhen Bureau, there are people with a score of 115 who are admitted. In Guangxi, a score of more than 100 is stable.

For interviews, the National Examination should be the fairest national examination. Go in and draw lots for the position and the examination room. The interviewers are all present in the Organization Department of the Personnel Department of the Maritime Safety Administration. They are videotaped and supervised. The interview questions are all along the coast. The National Maritime Safety Administration questions, the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration uses ministries, commissions, party groups, and there are many institutions in it, so the interview questions are difficult, but the interviews are not difficult. Everyone's level is almost determined by their mental outlook and fluency. If you really want to join the Maritime Safety Bureau, remember to wear a suit and tie! Don’t cover your forehead with your hair

As for the fairness of the interview, there are really not many people in the Maritime Safety Administration who have family members. There are not a few students who choose sailing who have poor families, and there are also blind applicants who don’t know what to study for the college entrance examination at the best. There are people in the shipping company, so why don’t you run the ship? Besides, you should know more about it. After the reform of the Maritime Safety Administration, many people want to resign. I won’t go into details here. They are all available online. So the interviews are all in the same major as you and many of them are from the same school. Men with engineering majors are generally not very good at expressing themselves, but they just know how to work seriously. The Maritime Safety Administration is very keen on candidates majoring in navigation.

Willing to contribute

Then, the competition in some places is very small. Every year, candidates who are interviewed and those who pass the exam are admitted on a 1:1 basis. This can only be achieved by physical examination (the physical examination is 1:1 based on the position) and those who pass the interview. I’m pretty sure it’s basically you. In addition to the poor wages and benefits, the wages in some places in Guangzhou and Guangzhou are okay, but basically not good in other places. In the 15-year reform, the public institutions were transformed into national civil servants, and their status was upgraded to directly under the central government. However, they cannot receive local subsidies, and wages are unified by the national finance. Dividing sunshine wages is like jumping off a building, so it depends on whether the family supports it. If you have some money, you can go to the Maritime Safety Bureau. If you have difficulties at home, it is recommended to go to the boating business. After all, only rich people have money. Money is the king, and you can choose to be decent.

In addition, many of the working environments are in relatively remote places, such as a certain corner of an island or a mountain top. Many places are far from the city, and they are engaged in front-line grassroots law enforcement. For VTS, five shifts and three shifts are implemented. There are many night shifts. You are also legally responsible for these. . . If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem. Now when you go to the Maritime Safety Bureau, you usually have to sign a minimum service period of 5 years, so the certificate you took will be invalid. If you resign, you will be counted as a dismissal. If the Maritime Safety Bureau fires you, it will have a huge impact on your future re-entry. It’s difficult, so let’s consider various aspects.

The reason for low wages is the 15-year reform of the Maritime Safety Administration, which was transformed from a public institution to a national civil servant. I think it should be changed. That's why the salary is low, don't know the exact function, but it has strong enforcement capabilities. Local subsidies have been cancelled, and those who dare not be paid will not be paid, so if changes are made later, I think the salary will be improved. Some old people are unwilling to let us go because they have outdated ideas and so on.

Looking forward to the later period, with the reform of public institutions, there will be maritime law enforcement-type maritime reservations. There are hundreds of thousands of seafarers to manage across the country. National trade depends on the ocean, foreign ship inspections also rely on maritime affairs, and the world also has the International Maritime Organization. , so maritime affairs will only be paid more and more attention. I don’t know why the Maritime Safety Administration was not merged or separated from the five dragons that controlled the water at that time, but now it has become the two dragons. It is still the subordinate of the Ministry of Transportation. It is impossible for Maritime to be weakened and disbanded. I heard that it was incorporated into the local area? I don’t know how to change it later, and I don’t dare to ask, hahaha
