How difficultis the marine biology career field?
I've always had a love for animals. I have also enjoyed going whale watching. Marine life is so interesting to me. I was thinking of changing careers from the medical field and getting a degree in marine biology. Unfortunately I have a lot of anxiety of not being able to make a living, fears of not getting a job after college and just making the wrong decision. Any thoughts or advice for me? I know people say money isn't everything and follow your dreams, but are my dreams still childish?
Is there an “easy way” to decide between two majors?
I’m currently a high school senior headed out the door to college this fall. I thought I was set on Marine Biology for my major and everyone has been pushing me towards it as well, but my passion in Art and animation grew more and I’ve noticed that I am more interested in Art than I am in Marine Biology. I found a college that I can have a major or minor in either Marine Biology or Art and they did inform me that it was easy to switch majors/minors at any time. I still come back and ask myself which one I would choose, but I’m still tied between the two. Is there an “easy way” (or as easy as possible) to decide between the two majors? If you have any advice at all, please let me know.

How are some good ways to get into conservation internships in Northeast Texas?
Hello, I am an undergrad biology student at TAMUT. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Environmental Biology degree. My top goal is to try and land a job as a Wildlife or Fisheries Biologist for a state or federal agency. Unfortunately, that requires a degree in conservation for most of those agencies, which then requires me to pursue a graduate degree since a BS Biology will not cut it for most agencies. These positions also requires job and internship experience. For about a year, I have been searching for internships from the agencies in the Texarkana region, but the very few internships or entry level jobs I find are always several hours away. I am a volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife, but that will not help me land a career later down the line I am told. Does anybody have advice or resources?

How do I know what I want to do with my future?
Hi! I'm a high school junior with a deep love for sciences (namely chemistry, astronomy, biology), music, and art. Graduation is creeping up on me and I need to get my ducks in a row with where I'll go after high school. I'm fairly certain that I'll meet any academic requirement for college applications (I have a 3.97 unweighted / 100.79 weighted gpa) but I'm torn in about 2,000 different pieces. I can't pinpoint what I want to major in/what career I want to pursue. On one hand, I love chemistry and I plan to take AP chemistry my senior year, so maybe it'd be good for me to pursue a chemistry-related field. But on another hand, I love music, I love band, maybe I should pursue a career in music? There's about a thousand different things I love, things I'm interested in, and things I'm good at. I extend my biggest thanks to anyone who can help me out here or can give a little guidance to others who are as indecisive as I am 🫶
