Marine Engg. is indeed good. The gestation period is long compared to CS & Chemical., but the most important aspect of life is that you will have the best balance of work and personal life. In case of CS & Chem it may result into giving extra time after work but in marine it is very very rare.
In termns of monetary value CS does have a upper hand over Marine Engg., but Marine & Chem Engg are at par.
As far as market is concerned it is growing in India but is very huge outside. Also by the time you will graduate with Marine Engg degree the market size in India will also be great.
