Marine Careers
Marine biology is the field of knowledge relating to any kind of marine organism, dolphins, whales, sharks, seals, plankton, etc. But what is a marine biologist? Well to a lot of people, the first thing they think of is Shamu and training dolphins but to others it means managing a marine wildlife sanctuary. There are multiple answers to this question and none of them are wrong answers, but to me a marine biologist is someone who has anything to do with the marine life, whether it be protecting, studying or helping keep it clean. There are many different studies that can classify you as a marine biologist. If you study marine fish populations you are a marine biologist. If you help take are of animals at a marine wildlife preserve then you are a marine biologist as well. So marine biologists do many things, but they one thing they all have in common is that they all working with marine organisms.
When I first started high school, I had a million questions about marine biology like what classes do I have to take, how many years of college we I need, how do I have to transform myself in order to be successful, and how much do marine biologists make? I learned over the years that, of course, I would have to take a lot of biology and understand the basics of chemistry, physics and math. A bonus would be having good skills in computers. I also learned that you have to be curious, creative, and clever, able to think outside the box. I have to become a go-getter, someone who doesn’t wait on anyone else to do stuff for them.
I want to be a Marine Biologist but how do I become a Marine Biologist? Marine biology includes a huge field of knowledge. Only by getting started will you decide which direction your studies will take you as go on through high school and college. In high-school and your first years in college, it’s most likely best if you take all the science courses available. Example would include biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, fish
