Maritime Radio Operators

There are some people out there who love the water and some who absolutely hate it with a passion.  I have to admit that I fall into the latter category.  The odd swim in the pool or water park is fine by me, but I draw a big thick line when it comes to the great wide open ocean.  I don’t know if it’s because I get seasick easily, or because of films like this, this, or even this; but there’s something about being right-smack in the middle of a humongous body of water with no knowledge of what’s around or underneath you that gets me nervous.

Thank goodness for Maritime Radio Operators!  They’re the people responsible for the receipt and communication of radio messages to and from ships and harbours.  You can rely on them to warn sailors about incoming bad weather, relay vital information to the coastguard in rescues, answer navigation questions, and generally just make sure that the people out there having fun are safe. 

 

To become a policy adviser/analyst, a tertiary entrance qualification will almost certainly be required. Bursary or NCEA or other equivalents in English, Economics or History would be useful across the board, but other subjects relevant to your field of interest would also help as starting points for your career.

We dream about it and look out into the deep wide open sky and see not just an adventure but maybe the possibility of a destiny worth pursuing. From soaring through space to a riveting launch of a rocket ship, we journey through the various options one can take into becoming an astronaut…

1. The traditional route- there is only three spaces agencies in the world that have the capabilities of man space flights. Firstly NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and possibly the most recognized earthly space brand! NASA’s space program is intensive but they are looking for the best of the best. So having 20/20 vision in each eye is just a small part of an overall selection process which includes requirements of academic as well as flight hours, depending on whether you are applying as a non piloting or piloting background candidate. Check out NASA’s website on Astronaut Selection for more details: http://www.nasajobs.nasa.gov/astronauts/content/broch00.htm

1. Empire Records- Oh yes, we did! A music store that not only has really good looking staff but plays good music as well! Video Killed the Radio Star was brought back to life and young people everywhere wanted to say “Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear.” Great movie, great cast, great soundtrack and great place to work!
