The employment prospect of marine surveying and mapping specialty varies from region to region and industry. Technical personnel engaged in marine surveying and mapping mainly come from surveying and mapping engineering, marine geology, marine technology and other majors. Because the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee and the Ministry of Education have not set up the major of marine surveying and mapping, there are few training institutions of marine surveying and mapping, which can not meet the urgent demand of marine surveying and mapping talents in China. However, major national marine surveying and mapping tasks, marine engineering construction and marine basic scientific research are in urgent need of marine surveying and mapping talents. Therefore, the employment prospect of marine surveying and mapping industry is very good, especially for boys.
