    Hi guys

    I also did some resarch on yacht design schools and found this one in Maine. If possible I would really appreciate if someone could tell me more about this school, or basically I would like to know if it is worth my money. Has anybody attended this school and how easy (or hard) will it be to get a job afterwards. I also have a bachelors degree in naval architecture.

    Thanx in advance

    It should be unnesessary if you already have an naval architecture degree. Just keep sending out resumes. There are plenty of shipyards, boatbuilders, and naval architecture offices listed on the web. If you phone places, they might mention others who are hiring even if they aren't.

    And http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ta.htm for jobs with the federal government.

    (And, depending on your age and interests, officer's candidate school with the Coast Guard may be worth while.)
