Learning, college and cool; oh, my! We had one heck of an enjoyable visit to Cal Maritime which is…read morea public school that more than adequately does day in and day out what they are in business to do, and that is seldom an easy accomplishment. One of my cousins, a woman, was just Honorably Discharged from the US Coast Guard after four years of enlisted Active Duty Service right out of high school. She asked us if we would attend her first visit to Cal Maritime. She had chosen to use her Veterans Educational Benefits at Cal Maritime during her inactive US Coast Guard Reserve four-year duty because the average Marine Transportation major who graduates from a school in the United States earns about $82,250 per year during the starting years of their career. Graduates with bachelor's degrees in this field make 107% more than the average college graduate salary of $39,802. Cal Maritime has the highest employment rate in the CSU system - 94% within three months of graduation. 94% of Cal Maritime's graduates go directly into for-profit companies, non-profit organizations, government agencies, or graduate schools while 8% graduate as commissioned officers in the military. My cousin plans to graduate Cal Maritime as a commissioned officer in the US Navy in the Navy Supply Corps and have the Navy pay for her graduate degree in Cybersecurity as she plans to spend 26 years in the Navy for a total of 30 years of Active Duty and four years of Reserve US military Service with her years with the Coast Guard. Upon retirement from the Navy, she plans to go US Navy Reserve while doing a second career in US government like the Federal Maritime Commission or private sector. California State University Maritime Academy, a prestigious small public school located in the city of Vallejo, California earned the #2 spot in the 2021 rankings for Marine Transportation degrees. Marine Transport majors who obtain their bachelor's from Cal Maritime start with an average salary of $90,700. The Marine Transportation (MT) major provides a broad understanding of the maritime industry, as well as navigation and ship-handling skills. Coursework and three training cruises prepare one to be a mate on a large ship, tug, or ferry, or to work in a variety of shoreside positions such as port and terminal management, stevedoring or marine sales. In addition to the Bachelor's Degree, one will earn a license from the U.S. Coast Guard as a Third Mate. This license allows one to sail on U.S. ships on any ocean, regardless of tonnage, horsepower and size. America's Maritime History spans the centuries from Native American and Viking maritime activities before Columbus through today's maritime enterprise. "The maritime history of shipping in America is built on the work and help of the American Merchant Marine. The first war that an organized United States Merchant Marine took part in was the American Revolutionary War. The first Merchant Marine action in the war took place on June 12, 1775 when a group of Machias, Maine citizens boarded and captured a British schooner, the warship HMS Margaretta. No industry has been more vital to the success of our country than that of America's maritime industry. The industry provides jobs for hundreds of thousands of Maritime Americans in every corner of our nation--from longshoremen in ports along our four seacoasts, to towboat operators navigating the Mississippi, to shipbuilders in East Coast dry docks, to the men and women who crew American-flag vessels of all types. The American maritime industry moves cargo and America's troops around the world in far greater volume, with far greater efficiency, than any other transportation mode. As a first line of defense, it also proudly helps ensure greater homeland security. The maritime industry transports commercial goods more cost effectively than trucks and rails--while providing the most environmentally sound mode of transportation. The industry's humanitarian role is one that paints a positive picture of America worldwide, as it distributes food to the world's poor and responds to global emergencies. And, the industry stands as a primary driver of trade in one of the world's largest economies." https://www.google.com/search?q=Veterans+Educational+Benefits+cal+maritime&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS878US878&ei=0g4_YvDiD7ifkPIP2-mBoA0&ved=0ahUKEwjwk5__6uP2AhW4D0QIHdt0ANQQ4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=Veterans+Educational+Benefits+cal+maritime&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQghEKABMgUIIRCrAjIFCCEQqwI6BwgAEEcQsAM6BQgAEIAEOgYIABAWEB46CAgAEBYQChAeOgUIABCGAzoICCEQFhAdEB5KBAhBGABKBAhGGABQhANY1x5gvyJoAXABeACAAXuIAdIKkgEDNi43mAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz http://catalog.csum.edu/content.php?catoid=8&navoid=499 https://www.csum.edu/financial-aid/veterans.html https://www.csum.edu/registrar/veterans.html

CSU Maritime is an amazing educational institution. The campus is beautiful. They have top of the…read moreline training facilities with some of the best maritime simulators in the world. Their engineering program is bar none. Every CMA graduate that wants a job will find a job, and will probably find a good job. CMA has a broad course selection ranging from navigation sciences to engineering and international business. Recently CSU Maritime merged with Cal poly San Luis Obispo. I'm confident this will make the school even better.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. A friend and I signed up for the…read more"Ladies Night Out" and were in for a fun surprise. We had no idea what to expect going in, but we were extremely happy to see such a cute and intimate set up! The host, Jennifer, planned this night SO WELL. She had macaroons, cookies, coffee/tea for us to enjoy, with relaxing music playing in the background. Jennifer also had a massage therapist, Anna, join and offer each of us a massage (amazing!). As for the activity itself, the watercolor painting was really fun and relaxing to do. We were able to turn our watercolor art into cute bookmarks. (Stickers, hole punchers, and tassels were all provided!) On top of everything provided, we even got a small gift bag to take at the end of the night. My friend and I can't wait to take another one of Jennifer's classes in the future

Had a wonderful relaxing art class at Once Upon A Canvas! I loved her wide variety of activities…read moreand goodies! The class was focused on self care/mindfulness which I absolutely loved! It's been a long week and this was just what I needed. She had someone there to do massages, had tea, coffee, yummy sweets, key chain making, and a beautiful art project. I drove all the way from Sacramento to attend with my mom and I would absolutely drive all the way back down here again to take another class here. Can't wait for my next class!!
