Advice Needed!! Pls read (Career in RSN)
Hi everyone, i have sign on with the navy as a naval officer.
i hold a diploma in marine & offshore technology and was accepted in SIT with a degree in Naval Architecture. If everything goes smoothly, i will start my 2 year study in 2013 and after i graduated, i need to serve my 4 year bond which will finish when i am 28 years old.
I am in a dilemma whether to sign as a naval officer or a Military Expert 4 (officer equivalent) as i still can be able to change. ME4 is more to engineering which is a bit more related to my course whereas a naval officer is more to warfare and navigation.
The pay wise after my degree would be around 3.5k-4.8k for both vocation.
What i would like to know is which is the better choice for getting a civilian job after my bond. As a ME4 or as a naval officer?( I would most probably go to the marine industry after my bond)
Also, what are some examples of the jobs i could get as a naval officer and as a ME4.
Anyone with any experiences to share?
Appreciate very much.
