Do you want to chase a career full of adventures and challenges? A career at sea will give you everything you need if adventure and money is what you desire from a profession. But for that first you’ll have to make the journey and get placed in a good shipping company by applying for some top merchant navy colleges and getting selected in one of them.

Unfortunately these days this field is filled with fraud agents and unapproved merchant navy colleges who are always eager to rob you and your parents of their hard earned money. These merchant navy colleges will give you admission very easily but you’ll never be able to see a ship for a long time after you graduate because they don’t have any placements. Then you’ll have to go to these agents who are basically sharks on land and just want to rob your money and will never be able to guarantee a secure and safe future for you.
