What kind of ship jobs are there other than cruiseship jobs?

t.km02: What kind of ship jobs are there other than cruiseship jobs?
I would like to work on a ship after high school. Since I could always remember. Yet I do not know what kind of jobs there are and the internet seems useless for once. I am NOT looking for a cruise ship job.
So what type of jobs are there to work on a ship, how can I find and apply for one, and what are the requirements?
