Becoming A Marine Biologist

I’ve always had a keen interest in science. When I was younger, I viewed a dolphin show online. I was instantly fanisnated and later I was informed that the trainers were special marine biologists. The idea of becoming a marine biologist is still a dominate career choice for me. Last year, I was incredibly curious with the aspects that a marine biologist has to undertake that I researched the career path as part of my PLP. This only ignited my interest even further and when I was invited to attend the Flinders University I particularly focused on the marine biology and biology lectures.

Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in. These things all required a sacrifice in various ways. They always stress how “sometimes you need to give up something to get ahead, or how sometimes sacrificing the familiar and what you expect from yourself to get the results that you are seeking in the long run.”

Ever since I was an infant, I have spent almost every summer on my father's boat in Ocean City, New Jersey. Whether it be fishing or jumping off the boat to go swimming, I have always been familiar and had an immense love for both the boat and the ocean. Up until this year, I had never known that there was an option for me to be able to take online classes at my high school. Since I have already taken all of the science classes that are honors that were available, I needed to find another science class. I had found the honors oceanography class in the catalog online, and I instantly signed up for the course. I enrolled because of my interest for the ocean and it's inhabitants. Although I'd like to think that I know a lot about the ocean, I

There are many ways people can impact something. With just one thing that they do, they can change a certain field or society today. Marine biologist Rachel Carson impacted current thinking on marine biology by her studies, works, and writings.

Considering lifetime goals, many people are unsure on how to prepare. They will either center around areas with no direction or only concern themselves with the subject with which they would like to be a professional in. This way they can find their passion or learn more about it. Since I was little, somewhere within deep myself, I have always strived to become someone who will be able to help others. The way I have come to realize how I can achieve this is to become a veterinarian. I will be able to help people who are unable to help the ones they love, their animals.

As I've researched, marine biologists must achieve at certain skills, such as: public speaking, science, critical thinking, reading comprehension and active listening. I succeed very well in all of those skills, yes, some more than

To become a marine biologist, you don't necessarily need to go to a college that offers a marine biology degree. Professors don't just research; they teach, advise, and deal with the politics of research. As many aspiring marine biologist realize, it's a tough and competitive field. Taking more specific marine biology classes certainly won't hurt, but a broader science background will keep your options open and still set you on your way. Most aspiring marine biologists head to graduate school to get their master's degree. The key to becoming a successful marine biologist starts with a solid background in basic science—biology, chemistry, and yes, physics. The master's degree typically takes two to three years and may cost a pretty penny, but

The life of Marine animals lies in the hands of scientist who try to study and protect them. From the early years of human life, marine animals have taken a part in the lives of humans as a source of food and everyday uses, but as the years have progressed and humans got curious we have started to study marine animal life and there ecosystems. Marine life has aided us and also it has perished and is still experiencing loses. The marine biology world has helped marine animals and has hurt them, but the controversial issues might actually outweigh the good things marine biologists have done and learned.

In five years I want to be in my second to last year of college, hopefully working towards a masters in marine biology, have an internship or even a paying job, living my life off campus. To get to this position I recently just finished applying for FAFSA, am applying currently to the colleges who major in marine biology or biology, going to visit colleges of my interest all over the U.S., and am looking for scholarships and grants that apply to me. I am hoping to be able to have the opportunity to study abroad my sophomore year of college, so I’m looking now at places who have that available. Since I am striving towards a career in marine biology I want my college experience to be near the water. The colleges I am looking at applying to are mostly in Southern California, Hawaii, and one in Florida.

Have you ever wondered what you want to do when you grow up? One day I want to be a marine biologist and go scuba diving everyday. I want to do this because I am going scuba diving in the spring on a shipwreck. But to do this I have to have a Bachelor's degree. To get this Bachelor’s degree I have to go to college and I want to go to ECU because that is where my uncle went and he said it was fun there and that I should someday go there. When I become a marine biologist I want to go in a shipwreck not on top of one and to learn all the different kinds of and to find a new creature. In 10 years I want to have a job and have fun. Someday I want to live in England because I have family there that I never met and I want to meet them

As already mentioned in the previous paragraph, marine biology is basically the study of organisms or creatures that live in the ocean or in saltwater environments. Though the education of marine animals is a big part of marine biology, the study of their habitats and ecological environments is another part of this job. While marine biologists study the ocean and its inhabitants, they can learn many things about humans and are able to find the cures to many diseases and sicknesses by studying and extracting ocean plant life and conducting examinations of marine animals. An experiment on sea urchin eggs determined how chemical substances can have an influence on the growth of the embryo. (Sorrell 6) Drug companies are currently testing

Sports, Art, music and finally marine biology. Jhanaisia could have never made up her mind on her profession. She'd rather object her mother's suggestion on becoming a track star but, she thought this idea was bizzare! Her once cherished  affection for art had perished and in music classes, her instrument was always dissonant. A new profession had came to her mind, marine biology. In her opinion, swimming with marine animals was more advantageous than the outrageous idea of becoming a track star.

For the longest time I wanted to be a marine biologist, so I decided to take an Ocean Science class this semester and my professors name is Mr. Wayne T. Marko. I decided to interview him for that very reason. I wanted to know why he chose his field, but also why he likes to teach about the ocean. Mr. Marko has his Ph.D. in Geoscience and his M.S. in Geosciences from Texas Tech University. He also received his B.S. in Geological Sciences at the University of Southern California. Mr. Marko’s research concentrates on the structure, petrology, and tectonic environments of igneous and metamorphic rocks. He also has publications about his research.

If you are interested in adventuring the depths of the ocean, being a marine biologist is the job for you. As a marine biologist you will need to have several years of schooling in order to have a successful career. Being a marine biologist can be an enjoyable and dangerous job, but the journey is worth the ride.

The obvious interest in the subject is not the only reason one will join the field. Each person who pursues a career in such subject will want to be as successful as they can be. And the success all starts within the individual's education. An average student will decide on becoming a marine biologist as they are still in high school. If so he/she should be interested in taking basic classes such as biology, chemistry, Earth science, math, and other science of research providing classes. (A94) To enhance the education level from there he/she should take other basic sciences at a college level. (A95) The chances of an individual being as successful as one can, mainly depends on the education shown provided. The minimum education one can have
