Career Development

Ever since the fourth grade, I have had a fascination with boats and the ocean. I have always wanted to work around them. Today I finally took a step in the right direction and met with my aunt's friend Shawn, who owns Pacific Marine Electric. Shawn gave me some very helpful insight on boating in general. First of all, one of the most important things he told me about getting and keeping a job was to show up on time and also to follow through with your work. Shawn told me that one of the best parts of marine technology is that there are so many trades and types of jobs to chose from.
