ETME qualifications

[Jp0901]

Will joining as a engineering technician (marine engineer) provide good useful qualifications for when I leave the RN and will it class me as a skilled worker for having these qualifications. I am just sceptical because my brother was in the army (tank regiment) and now he can’t find a job at all.

Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

Reckon this has been done to death. But, using your engineering intelligence, what do you think?

 

[Jp0901]

What I think is that I shouldn’t just jump straight into a career with being properly prepared for it

A marine engineer will have many transferable skills on the outside, there's not much call for tank crews though.

Thank you. Yeah I understand haha just had to say anyway to give my parents piece of mind

Join up and enjoy yourself, the RN gives you money to educate yourself up to PHD if you use it wisely.
