So I’ve no idea if I’ll get into KP this year. Or the next. That being said, I’ve no doubt I’ll get in eventually with enough work and perseverance on my part. (My stats are competitive, I’ve just got to work on fitness)
Regardless, I’m sure I want to attend.
The thing is, if/once I get in, I’m not sure what I’ll spring for. I’m honestly interested in both Engine and Deck. I’ve always loved science and technology, and enjoy building and programming things in my spare time.
But leadership, management, paperwork, and standing bridge watches beneath the stars also sound super cool.
So if I’ll enjoy both paths, my question comes down to which major is more employable, pays better and has the most opportunity to advance. (For example, can a CE become a ships master)
Any input would be great!
