I graduated from college about 5 years ago and I'd really like to get a job in the boating industry. My degree/background is in mechanical engineering and I have a decent job making good money, but all I think about is boats. To be really successful you have to love what you do so my best shot would be to somehow work in this industry. I don't have any professional experience related to boating but I spent all of my off time during college working retail sales at a West Marine. Any help or recommendations from everybody would be greatly appreciated. (career paths, good companies, etc.)

Do you know Solid Works or Pro Engineer? I might have some part time modelling / engineering work for you. (designing billet boat parts)

I'm in Jersey, but I would move in a second. No relocation assistance necessary :cool:

I'm a whiz on autocad. My current company should be getting solidworks in the next month, so I'll have that under my belt shortly. I've designed and machined a ton of prototype parts for medical, military, and space applications.

I also seem to recall that Trident is always looking for people and it seems to me that blank slates are better. ;)
