hi,

see you can join merchant navy as a cook or steward , however you need to wait for the recruitment of relevant post, so my suggestion is once you complete your studies try to get job or internship in international or national hotels, also you may try for cruise ship , see getting experience on the relevant discipline is really important and it would help you to grow your career opportunities.
