The document discusses three careers related to working on ships: Marine Architect, Ship Engineer, and Mates - Ship, Boat, Barge. Marine Architects design ship hulls and interiors, using skills like listening to client needs, understanding technical documents, and applying mathematics. They confer with engineering workers and determine design changes based on sea trials. Ship Engineers monitor machinery, determine issues, and perform maintenance tasks. Mates supervise crews, steer vessels, and assume command if needed. They navigate and arrange for ship operations. All three careers require relevant experience over formal education and provide salaries from $31-88k annually.

 My Reaction
1. This seems like a job that I would like. I've worked on boats
before and know what makes a good boat and what’s needed
to make sure people would like the boat. If I were to go into this
career, I would want to design hulls and interiors for pleasure
boats and not huge ships.

annually
 Related Careers
1. Commercial divers, Refrigeration Mechanics and
Service Technicians, Aircraft Mechanics
 My Reaction
1. This seems like a good career for me. The only
thing I wouldn’t like would be being on a ship for
long periods at a time. The salary is a little lower
than other salaries for positions related to this but
still seems like a good career for me

6. Mates- Ship, Boat, Barge
 Overview
1. Supervise crew members, steer vessels, assume
command of ship in event that vessels pilot or captain
is unable to guide it
 Skills
1. Actively learn new things while on the job
2. Monitoring the performance of other individuals as well
as yourself

some college maybe, some high school diploma, and
some no high school diploma

7.  Salary

annually
 Related Careers
1. Pilots for Ships, Ship Engineers, Rail Yard Engineers,
Municipal Firefighters, Gas Plant Operators
 My Reaction
1. This would be a career that I could do. I have a
boating back round, so this would feel right for me,
the problem if I wouldn’t want to be out on the
water or long periods of time away from
everything and home. It’s also good money for a
career where many people don’t have a college
diploma.
