Memorandum To: Professor Dill From: Hannah Reynolds Date: September 16, 2016 Subject: Wildlife Biologist Career This memo will cover the information I need to become a wildlife biologist. Such as what a wildlife biologist is, the education requirements, challenges, and the work environment effect on your identity. Description of a Wildlife Biologist Wildlife biologist are very similar to Zoologist in the way they both study animals in their natural environments. (what does a wild life biologist do what does their work day look like?) Education To become a Wild life biologist at an entry-level job I must have a bachelor’s degree majoring in a biological science. (Cite) Although to advance further into my career it is recommended …show more content…
Income can become a challenge for many wildlife biologists, as the average income for a wildlife biologist in America as of May 2015 is $59,680 per a year or $28.69 per hour according to U. S. Bureau of Labor. (Cite) Given that I will have to attend a university or college form a minimum of four years to eight years to obtain a bachelors degree up to a Ph. D. The average debt from a Ph. D. is which can cause substantial finical debt becsue of average pay. When you add in providing for a family or just for your self it effects your way of living. Being a wildlife biologist some jobs will require you to have physical endurance. Wildlife biologist travel to different locations to research they have to be adaptable to any weather conditions. () Many jobs require physical strength to transport essential materials to research site; a job application given from the US Fish and Wildlife Service states “This could require carrying up to 7 gallons (50 pounds) of fuel up to one-half of a mile. The position requires the ability to climb up to the base of the radar antennas for mobilization, deployment, and trouble shooting …” (). This can vary though because some research jobs require higher physical abilities than
The desire to further my career caused me to start to research the different options available to me. The
To work and addition involvement in the field in which I want to construct better profession.
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.
In order to make a good amount of money, you have to work hard and doing so you will rank up. Most of the time Game Wardens will work overtime to make more money than what they are paid for. If you focus and work hard at your job, you will be able to rank up or get a good raise. The rankings of a Game Warden, Game Warden Sergeant, Game Warden Lieutenant, Game Warden Captain, and the Game Warden Major. A Game Warden make minimum-$49,581 maximum-$68,688; Game Warden Sergeant, minimum-$64,084 maximum-$76,521; Game Warden Lieutenant, minimum-$71,377 maximum-$84,958; Game Warden Captain, minimum-$83,574 maximum-$91,017; then the Game Warden Major, minimum-$102,357 maximum-$103,014. It is not easy to make this kind of money. You have to work and be dedicated to your
Third graders will become zoologists, understanding the various habitats where animals live. They will research a specific habitat and identify necessary environmental factors for the survival of a chosen animal. Analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources, students will create a triorama that represents the animal's habitat and perform a public service announcement advocating for the habitat's preservation.
There are many kinds of veterinarians. There are vets that specialize in common house pets like, cats and dogs, vets that take care of exotic creatures like, lizards and snakes, and vets that treat large animals like, horses and cows. For my future career I chose a large animal veterinarian. A large animal veterinarian can treat animals from the zoo to the farm. They mainly work with horses and cattle but they know how to treat other animals. A large animal vet needs to know several types of math and how to use each type in their daily work.
There are many other useful skills that will help you in this job such as having experience with wildlife and you need to be able to communicate with people which will be very useful if you have to talk to hunters who some will dislike you. You will have 12 hour work days and they will be outdoors almost entirely, but you can't find
You advance in this career by getting a higher level education in your degrees and you can also.
One problem of being a naturalist is you could really not be getting all the information you think you need because the animals probably know you are there, so they are not performing their true daily instincts. Therefore, you don not get the whole scope of their natural habitat and behaviors.
They can find out the age of the animal, take tissue samples to find out if they have diseases and they can find out how big they are to make predictions about winter. Hunters are asked where they hunt, so the Fish and Game can see what the hunters are seeing. They can find out if the hunters are violating the
Four year college education for passage level positions; doctoral degree is basic among school educators and free specialists. The normal yearly out-of-state expense for a lone ranger program in Microbiology, Generally is 35,454 dollars with an expected normal four year degree complete expense of 141,816 dollars but there are lots of scholarships that students can get to pay for their classes and go to college with this as their major. Top microbiologist Jobs consist of the two that i listed but there are more these are just the ones i wanted to put down Scientist II, and R&D Microbiologist but there are lots more jobs that other people can do if they don’t like those.
My higher educational studies have imparted me with a firm foundation for a degree level qualification. Studying
Bob Garrott was our speaker this week. He was a professor at the University of Wisconsin for four years and is now the director of the Fish and Wildlife program here at Montana State. He told us that he never wanted to be a professor, up here talking to classrooms like our, but now finds it very satisfying to help train people in an academic environment to be successful in wildlife management.
Now that I am applying to the Animal and Botanical Sciences program, I realized there are so many amazing opportunities in this field after going to the open-house. I know I am prepared for the special focus of the Animal and Botanical Sciences program from my academic as well as my non-academic experiences. For the past three years in middle school, I managed to play on three softball teams and maintain highest honors academically. So, I know I will be able to manage my time and balance sports and school. Growing up I had many different types of animals from cats to turtles to frogs. I found it interesting to research how to train, feed, and care for the many different types of animals I have owned. Also, animals and plants always interested
Wildlife biologists need many years of schooling and hands on experience to become experts at their jobs. Altogether with bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees, it is close to 12-14 years. Each university is different in how many credit hours are needed. The areas are general biology, ecology, genetics, cellular biology, evolution, wildlife management, and fisheries management (Everyday Life). Deciding on a school is based on what area I want to work in. If I want to be a marine biologist, schools on the coasts of oceans are the best for me to go to. To become a wildlife biologist, colleges with programs that focus on land mammals are the best option. One college that is very popular for this study is Texas A and M University. Texas A and M University is constantly ranked among
