In this paper I will research everything there is to know about taking a career choice in Marina Biology. A lot of people say that its not the smartest way to go only due to the fact that there isn’t a lot of job openings in this field. It is a very hard decision whether I should or not hopefully writing this essay will help me decide whether I should go into this field. This essay will give you all the facts about this job.

Marine biologist can do various amount of things to be considered one. I want to be a dolphin trainer. To be a Marine Biologist you don’t necessarily need a degree in marine biology they recommend that you get an undergraduate degree in a science course such as biology at a college that also offers a marine biology course. The undergraduate degree usually can take up to 4 years depending on how high of a score you can get on your SAT. After that it will take you about 2 years to get a graduate degree in Marine Biology. So in total you would spend about 7 years in college if you actually can finish in time and stay focused. Sometimes it might require to take summer classes so that you can finish a lot faster but it will only benefit you.
