For centuries man has gone out to sea in the most primitive of ships, and despite a hard, unforgiving life, found a great deal of joy and fulfillment. Today, albeit ships being technological marvels, the call of the sea for some is as primitive and strong as it was for our forefathers. Notwithstanding material comforts, ease of communications and a good salary, life at sea is still tough. Yet the level of maturity and self reliance one gets within a short time of working at sea, can never be achieved elsewhere. Having chosen a career at sea, one does not have to remain an old sea dog, unfit for jobs ashore, unless one chooses to. The qualifications, skill and experience one gets at sea are much in demand ashore and with 10 to 15 years experience at sea, one can easily slip into a senior management position ashore., Chidambaram Institute of Maritime Technology, Merkandai ( Village) Vittilapuram (Post), Kalpakkam (via), Tamilnadu 603 102, Phone 91-44-3740 5665, 91-44-3740 5775, Cell +91-9940031613, http://www.cmet.org
