Out at Sea

Oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the earth's surface, provide a wealth of career opportunities for divers, fishers, underwater archaeologists, oceanographers, oil and natural gas exploration workers, underwater welders, and other workers. In this book, you'll learn about these and other occupations, typical education paths, the skills you'll need to be successful, average salaries, the employment outlook, sources of additional information, and much more. Out at Sea is one of six exciting titles in the Hands-On Careers series that spotlight occupations in which workers engage in deep-sea exploration or fishing; construct and repair things; work with animals or grow crops; help others; or otherwise engage in hands-on work activities. Many of these careers are attractive to young people because they offer interesting and rewarding work outside of an office environment. They're also appealing because they provide good pay and steady employment prospects
