I am assuming you want to be a merchant marine and not in the navy. The job is lots and lots of hard work and little sleep. There is constant chipping and painting the ship. Cleaning the house. As an entry level person there is lots of dirty jobs that you will get to do. Even with all that you get to visit some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world. The link below will give you all the info you need to begin a great career.

A Royal Navy sailor or some other country's Navy sailor?
Or do you want to learn how to sail a yacht?
Your question is too open to interpretation at the moment.
If you want to learn how to sail a yacht, let us all know and I'll help you out.

To become a sailor first you must throw away your pride. Join the Army. Navy is for chumps.

You could join the Navy, then you would be a sailor.
To learn to handle a boat, take seamanship courses, navigation courses and sign on as a deck hand on a sailboat.
