What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
In the maritime ministry, and specifically for the American Bureau of Shipping, there are quite a few internship opportunities. These are maritime-focused, low-level roles like analyst or sales analyst, or surveying roles.
In these roles, you provide technical guidance on a very specific aspect of a vessel or the industry. So, there are a lot of technical learnings to be had early in someone's career.
From a business development perspective, there may be more opportunities in sales analysis or market analysis. Here, you learn what the industry is doing and what it's looking for to facilitate sales for business development or sales teams. It's the technical side of this business development approach.
