Exploring Marine Biology
Many people are fascinated by ocean creatures like sharks, crabs, fish, and corals (Career Cruising). A student who researches the nature of a job, its working conditions, employment facts, the education and training requirements, along with the future job potential and earnings will be wiser and more knowledgeable when determining a career path. Becoming a Marine Biologist is an interesting career path because you get to travel all around the country/world and have to know about 30 different types of sciences(MarineBio). To begin with, marine biologist work for colleges, government agencies, laboratories, and environmental organizations. Some also work for aquariums and zoos to research on their animals. Marine biologists do a lot of writing papers to explain their research and share it with new researchers to have more knowledge about one specific topic. Some marine biologist also do field work. This can be to unknown remote locations. Because of this aspect it is important to have physical stamina. Living conditions can be very hard since sometimes the scientists could end up staying on a ship for who knows how long and what weather conditions some will face. Depending on the type of marine biologist most work between 8-10 hours a day and 40-50 hour weeks, but some like …show more content…
For some, a bachelor’s degree will be just fine. Some colleges don’t have marine biology as a career for their school so other related topics will work too. Most academic and physical positions require a PhD. Those with a master’s degree can work as laboratory technicians, research assistants, or in technical positions at public aquariums. As a high schooler classes that are recommended would be biology, physics, chemistry, math (calculus and statistics), computers, and even Latin (spanish) (Career
