A Career As A Marine Biologist

Decent Essays

Science has always interested me and i have been considering if for a career. If i was to enter a science field for a career, these are the 3 fields i would be mostly interested in. All of my life i had been fascinated with the ocean so i would highly consider going into marine biology. Marine Biology is the study of all plants and animals that live in the ocean. Marine Biologists study a wide range of organisms that varies from Whales and Dolphins to single celled plankton and sea grass. They can also study specific things like a single species of fish or all the fish that live in different ecosystems. Marine Biology also has many places you could work at. One day you could dragging giant nets behind a big boat and another time you coud be …show more content…

Marine Biologists use an array of advanced tools and technology on the job. They use big nets such as beach seines, bottom trawls, and plankton nets to collect samples of organisms that they study. They also use high tech equipment like remote controlled underwater vehicles and submarines. Other tools they use are thermometers, hydrometer, salinometers, current meters and so on. On average, Marine Biologists make about $45,000 to $110,000 a year. Although some Marine Biologists dont make tons of money, it would be a fascinating career to have. Many universities offer Marine Biology courses. For example, University of Georgia, Florida Institute of Technology, and the University of West Florida; just to name a few. To become a Marine Biologist, it is recommended to take lots of science courses in high school and in college. That includes biology, chemistry, genetics, and environmental science. It is important to get experience in the field and not just the lab. It is best to get some experience in the field early such as volunteering at a fish and wildlife conservation, working as a vet, ar even working at a fish …show more content…

I want to be an engineer and i really like science and im good at it so it would be a good field for me. Engineering science is the study of engineering and science and learning how the two interact. Engineering is using math and science to improve modern machines, technology, and structures and to invent, design, and build new things. Engineering has a very wide range of very specific fields. You could work as an aerospace engineer which is when you design and work on airplanes, a hardware engineer who design and test various computer equipment, or even a paper engineer who design and test an array of paper products. Other engineering fields include plastic engineering, river engineering, automotive engineering, and combat engineering ; just to name a couple of them. When it comes time when you pick what field you want to be in, the possibilities are almost endless because there are so many specific fields and careers. The ones that interest me most are ocean engineering which is the design of structures in the ocean, automotive engineering which is the design and testing of road vehicles, and metallurgical engineering which is the study of metals and putting them to use. Also, engineering is a very important thing in society because they solve all of societies problems that we encounter. For example, if we didnt have medical engineers, there would be no machines in hospitals to keep us alive and no cures
