国航和物流系毕业后的选择       

2008.09.29

最近有些同学来信问及毕业之后下一步应该怎么走,是进修或是就业?

一般来说如果经济条件允许能够进修充实自已当然是最好.否则的话就先找一份工作也可以。根据统计人的一生要更换三到四个不同的职位,所以对第一份工作不必太过苛求, 有七,八成满意度便可以,要紧的是先争取到一些实际工作的经验.

进修地区可分国内和国外.目前国内顶尖的大学不少, 有些同学毕业后到交通或和复旦等大学拿一个跟本科相关的硕士学位,然后就到外企或国内大企业工作.

国外大学分国立和私立, 私立收费较高但师资好。 如念硕士都要考 GRE GMAT, 念学士即要考托福.因航运不是热门学科所以国外的奖学金很难找, 如想课余找工作那要靠运气, 因外国的劳工法是不许雇用非居民.

如到美国进修可到国立或州立的海事大学,或且是到私立大学攻读 MBA 或跟本科有关的课程.至於如何选择和申请学校因笔者不是经营国外进修资询公可所以不能提供详细的资料,但这些资料都可从谷歌(Google)搜索网中找到。 如有意到美国等你们选好学校时笔者可以提供些意见给你们作参考。

航运是全球化也是西方人的强项如果我们要跟他们有船舶买卖和租约业务的来往,我们一定要深入研究他们的游戏规则才能百战百胜保障我们的利益,否则就会蒙受损失.

究竞如何才能得到上述的学历和工作经历笔者认为可先到近一点的地方如新加坡或香港进修或找工作,因为这二个地方百年来和西方的航运有着很深的接触和往来, 他们学校的学历和工作的资历都得到西方国家的认可。 

另一种方式是在上班时从世界最有名的 Lloyd’s Maritime Academy LMA 念远程教学,半工半读争取一张专业的文凭,这对你们的前途是具有极大的帮助. LMA email 地址是: www.lloydsmaritimeacademy.com, 他们的课程允许你一年内念完. 每个科目的学费大约是一千四百英镑, 科目涵盖航运各方面:

                   Diploma in marine surveying

                   Diploma in ship management

                   Diploma in ship finance

                   Diploma in crew management

                   Diploma in ship agency

                   Risk management in shipping 等等

几个月前曾经建议一位同学到香港理工大学进修(MScINTL)的硕士学位, 因为这个课程有香港特区政府提供的奖学金,毕业后还可在香港工作一年.笔者觉得这是一个非常理想的进修和毕业后实习的机会,因此笔者建议同学们机不可失应全力争取. (据说有两位大连海大同学前年就获得这个16万港币的奖学金).下面是申请该奖学金的全文:
