Will the influx of students interested in majoring in a form of marine science make it harder for me to get a career once I graduate?
A lot of people I know are going to college for a form of marine science, like #marine-biology. Is it already a competitive career? And will it become more competitive? #marine-science #career #biology
Does it help when looking for jobs to have a Ph.D. in marine biology?
I have wanted to get my degree as a marine biologist through Coastal Carolina University ever since I was in middle school, which was when I first started learning about marine life. I've known that marine science is the only Ph.D. program available at Coastal Carolina, but I am unaware of how much it will help me when applying for jobs as a marine biologist. It is a lot of money to get and a lot more education, but if it is worth it I will definitely be doing it! #marine-biology #doctorate-degree #biology #career #science-phd
What are the precautions for posting signs in a beach?
I'm a future marine biologist and I plan to specialize in sea turtle rehabilitation. I want to help the sea turtles before they become endangered. One plan I have for helping the population is by posting signs with the phone number of the sea turtle rehabilitation center I end up working at so that when people on the beach find a washed up or injured sea turtle, they will have the phone number to contact me. By contacting me, I will then go to the site and help the harmed sea turtle back to the hospital where I will work with them until they are healthy enough to return to the ocean. #marine-biology #endangered-species #biology #career

How do I blend visual art and writing skill with my biotechnology degree for a career?
Ever since I was a kid, I was constantly stuck between wanting to be an artist, a writer, or a scientist. There must be some way to have all these things in my life, but I'm not really sure since I want to be a microbiologist or parasitologist. #biology #biotechnology #molecular-biology #marine-biology #cell-biology #evolutionary-biology #wildlife-biology #writer #painting #drawing-and-painting #drawing
What if I want to have a job that supports and pays well, but that I genuinely like and have time to do things in my free time?
I have heard many stories of people having their dream jobs that pay, "big bucks," but then having these jobs take away a lot of time from their outside lives and take away time from things that are truly important to them, for example, family. I have also heard of people having jobs that pay extremely well, but it is not what they are interested in, or not their, "top choice," in what they would choose for their career. This is where I am conflicted for when I start to make these decisions. I want to know what different careers there are and how well they will support me, but also how much time they could potentially take away, or the values that are most important to me, such as family. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that I will not work hard or not put my all in because I do not want to waste my time on a beneficial career, but these kind of decisions, I think, would be easier to make if we knew all of the certain criteria that is associated with each choice. #conflicted #travel #doctorate-degree #neonatology #business #hospital-and-health-care #performing-arts #art #marine-biology #biology

How do you find a good place to intern for Biology?
I know that I could probably find a professor that could use my help, but how do I approach them so that I can work by their side. It would be great to be paid, but I don't have to be(that's more a graduate degree thing anyway). I'm about to graduate high school and would like the lab experience. Any time of year. #biology #internships #college-bound #marine-biology
If I take a Biology course, how to I transfer that to a Marine Biology course and have many Minors?
