Opinion on getting a degree in international trade and shipping? Is the shipping industry full of opportunities?
Are you talking about international relations, international business, or business supply chain management?

yea its a great time to get in actually.
you can probably be a shipping magnate by 40.
but skip college and just work on the docks and save money, if u do it fast enough you can probably buy some boats.
there literally selling for 1$ right now.
(they cost 15k a year to store and keep up )

Don't go to work for a bunkering company (they sell the fuel to the ocean going vessels).
They are all fucking crooks. They will fuck their own staff, management, investors and other "stakeholders" in an effort to be the biggest and baddest supplier. They are manipulative cunts who brag about the youth they possess which is the same as bragging about how their inexperience and near criminal training will be their downfall in a short period of time.
Read about OW Bunker and their oil trdaing venture Dynamic Oil Trading of Singapore. It's a tale of how a bunkering company goes public with a billion dollar valuation and then goes bankrupt 8 months later because of gigantic stupidified dumbass operating skills.
I'm sorry I minced words.
