What does a typical day look like for a Marine Biologist?

I've heard it's sampling the ocean from boats and ships, working up samples in the laboratory, figuring out the results on computers or writing up the findings for publication. I want to learn more.

What is the social and physical environment of University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN, USA ?

After getting some previous advice on here about majors and classes and what colleges offer them, I cross-referenced with a list of colleges that have reached out to me with interest and the University of Minnesota stood out to me. I’m wondering about the environment there and how current students feel about it. For reference, I’m an incoming high school junior with a 3.5 GPA and an interest in biology, specifically entomology. Edit: I live in NV currently so I would be from out of state.

What do I do if I have 2 options for a field that are related, yet a 3rd that is completely unrelated, yet I enjoy as much as the other 2?

I want to go into a biology field, either wildlife or agricultural, yet I also absolutely love all things choir. I want to have a career where I am constantly using my hands to figure something out, but I also want to help people learn something I've always enjoyed.

How can I find biology research opportunities (particularly neuroscience) available to me given that I'm a high school student during the school year?

I'm an incoming junior with limited experience in the field, but I think it would be a wonderful experience to partake in research, whether of my own or of a professional. My only worry is with the timing complication (what with school and everything else).

What career path should I follow based on the following information?

I'm an 18-year-old freshly out of high school. I'm not really sure about what I should pursue in college. My interests incline towards chemistry, biology, and psychology and I feel like I want to do something in the field of biology. But the thing is, in this field whatever I'm inclining toward seems like it wouldn't really help me with any placements and job opportunities, at least till I complete my master's in the course. Also, the earning also seems pretty low, specifically in India. I did think about going in the direction of med, but the competition seems way too high, and it feels very challenging so I'm not really sure about it. I was thinking about choosing between pharmacy and biotechnology, but in both cases, the placements and the opportunities seem to be lacking in India. What should I do? Note: this question was asked anonymously by a student
