If you seriously, seriously, seriously want to become a (Navigating/Deck)(Officer) Cadet - you can become one!
Just make sure you do Maths at school & if you don't pass, then just take extra tuition in it & try, try, & try again.
If you are determined enough - you WILL assuredly make it!
You WILL never ever have money worries - but in return you will be expected to work 24/7 & that is 24/7 - as YOUR ship (& it is YOUR ship) comes FIRST!
Whether ur a Deck Cadet or head of Sovereign State - there r aspects of which the public will never b aware.
The public c u in uniform - served by stewards in impressive white uniforms - they don't realise the hours u put in & that 1 minute ur sorting out everything on Deck in dirty white overalls [dirtier the better] - the next ur on the bridge in uniform at stations.
As Head of State, public all want to be in that position - yet they will never hear what a head of state says in confidence!
