How is the Import-Export field? (average, jobs, salary, interest)

[JoyfulHope]

What is your opinion of this field? Anyone ever hold any of these jobs?

The jobs seem interesting but most of them only pay 30-42k in NJ-NYC unless your a manager.

Pro's and Con's???

What part of it, exactly? There are many related support jobs in the range you gave, but many other higher paying jobs. The union longshoremen working the docks loading/unloading ships are making $70-100k, Marine Clerks $135k, and more with overtime. Railroad workers in the intermodal yards can make $60k, mates on deep draft vessels make $70k, ships engineers $83k, and the average salary for harbor pilots is $400,000.

You mean the office jobs in Ship Cargo carriers and Freigh Fowarders, they don't pay much $$$. The only people making real money are the union jobs (docks,railroad ship engineers)
