Besides being a mate or captain type position, what other advancement opportunities come from being a deckhand on something such as an offshore crew boat or supply vessel? Do people quickly move out of a deckhand position?
Also, will companies hire a deckhand without USCG credentials? and how does one obtain them once working if so?

The industry as a whole offers high paying jobs. Deckhand experience and a college degree could get you into the office (HR, HES, Purchasing, Logistics).
Most people don't quickly move from deckhand, but most people have average or lower intelligence.
Some companies don't hire mariners without certain credentials, but many will hire a green OS that shows promise or is recommended.
Check the USCG NMC for how long it takes to earn various credentials.
