How do I know which of the two jobs I am considering is the best for me and my preferences?
I am going into 9th grade next year and I am stuck between being and FBI Special Agent because I love problem solving and physical activity or being a marine mammal field veterinarian because I love dolphins, otters, pinnipeds, and all other marine animals. I don't know how to determine which one I would have more satisfaction in.
What would be good Majors and minors to go with?
I would like to work with whales and sharks as an adult. I am currently in the 9th grade. As of now I’m thinking marine biology with two minors in aquatic veterinary science (I believe that is the right name?) and marine animal psychology. Would those be good choices to go with?
What would help me get into good marine bio schools?
What could I do to help me get into good Marine Biology/science schools? Such as volunteering and possible research opportunities that would be affordable? What would also be good courses I could do? I don’t live near the water or any aquariums. I am currently in 9th grade.
