How do I decide what I'd like to do with my biology major?
This upcoming fall, I'm majoring in biology at UCSB. I've always been passionate about science and hope to pursue a career in STEM. However, I'm having trouble deciding which Biological career would be the most fulfilling to me. I love the ocean and find it, as well as the creatures within it, so fascinating, so I'd like to explore marine biology. However, I've also been exposed to oncology and other realms of the medical field since I was very young, and the idea of directly helping others as a nurse or doctor is very appealing to me. What should the governing factors be in deciding what I pursue, and what sort of things should I do in college to help me discover which career would be fulfilling to me?
