The Marine Industry will ALWAYS grow and Prosper!

1: People LOVE the Water and desire to live near it.

2: Water is VERY Powerful and has a habit of destroying that which man Builds to contain it and therefore re-building is ALWAYS needed!

3: According to that J/O, Al GaWhore, the Oceans are out to get us!! (this is NOT a valid reason for the job)

I spent 6 years as an offshore diver, last 3 and a half were spent in the GOM oil and gas field, first years spent coastal and inland doing more than I can elaborate on right now, spent about a year and a half with a marine construction outfit in jersey/staten is/nyc doing dock building, sheet pile, dreadging, very exciting, challanging and rewarding work, but unless you are union, forget about making a living.

I did electrical work at a marina in Jersey City. There was always something to do. Lot's of rich people own yachts (hint, hint).

I say find out what the local codes are and go for it.
