Why not? There is a lack of sinkie marine engineers and your salary as a dip holder 3rd engineer on a tanker or LNGC will probably trump many fresh degree grads.

Sinkies with CoC 1 Chief Engineer ticket are super rare (The only sinkie CEs I know are literally boomers who are due to retire soon anyway), and you will be hot commodity for shore based management jobs in your mid 30s if you stay the course.

If not then just start from the bottom as a assistant superintendent in a ship owner company.

Hi!

There are really no suitable job for each person. On paper, it may look like a job is suitable for you but you need to work at that job to really know if it is. Spend a couple of months , minimally 3 months in each job to know if its suitable for you. Many studied till uni but doesnt pursue the field they studied.

You are still considered young, so you may want to look into different jobs for now.
