I am a mechanical engineer & have a marine engineering Diploma. How can I shift to mechanical shore job?

I worked as a 3rd-engineer on merchant ships & I am planning to shift to shore job on the mechanical side. I am planning to do piping design certification which is of 2-months. What are my chances to get a good salary with this course? What about NDT course? Which one is better?

Hello Kiran, There is a huge salary difference between ship and shore jobs. It's much less. However, your thinking is right. If you do NDT, then you can take on work of testing and certifying as entrepreneur.
