Marine Transportation Bachelor Programs
The average merchant marine salary is $59,500 per year. Senior officers can make well over $100,000. This should be seen in light of the fact that they spend a great deal of time away from home (though shipboard accommodations are relatively comfortable). The work is often physically hard, and you are essentially on duty 24/7 while at sea. Working in marine transportation offers nearly unparalleled opportunities for adventure, though. Shore-based positions, often in logistics or engineering, are also available.
