A Day in the Life of a Marine Biologist in Hawaii

Aloha from Hawai'i! My name is Jessica, I am a professional marine biologist living on the island of Maui.
Join me on "a day in the life" as a marine biologist at the Maui Ocean Center, where I highlight the many exciting aspects of my career and what it's like working in an aquarium environment.
Mahalo nui loa to the Maui Ocean Center for permitting me to film this episode in the park.
And a special thank you to Morgan for sharing part of her special day with me. Don't forget to check out her adventure at the Maui Ocean Center over on her channel, @MJ Plays: • Checking Out The Maui ...
Let's dive in!

    I'm 14 and want to be a marine biologist working in Florida, anyways my question is since marine biology is a massive field, how did you find what was perfect for you?

    There are many jobs in it. Im turning 19 and soon going to college for it. My choice is being a marine ecologist. I love how the oceqb interacts with the sea life and how the sea interact with eachother. It all depends on what you love about the ocean. If it is a specific group of animals that live in the ocean you can be a marine zoologist.

    What kind of college degree did you get and how long did it take for you to get your current job title? I've loved all kinds of animals my whole life and I'm curious about marine biology. Looking into the various different animal degrees, this has caught my eye. Degrees like Ecology have steered me away because of the desks and the research analyzing. I love the passion you have for your job! You're living the dream :)
