I'm 31 years old and I live in Utah. Unfortunately, Utah doesn't offer any kind of formal schooling or training to get into maritime mechanics. I have very minimal knowledge of maritime mechanics, but I want to make the career change and start. I have been working in law enforcement for the past 5 years; I'm married and have an 8-year-old. The few boat dealerships in my area have failed to return my emails or calls and seem to want somebody with prior experience. Does anybody have any kind of suggestions for me?
