In other words I like to observe/analyze what is wrong with something and pin point it, but I am not too passionate about treating it as in medically. I am so confused on what to pick :(

I need help!!! I'm in such a similar position. I really want to go out and live in the woods for months and just walk around a plot of land and count the wildlife in the area and the changes in the environment caused by both biotic and abiotic factors. Does anyone know what may be similar to this job or degree? I don't necessarily want to talk to government officials about why we can't put houses in the area or where we can build trails and where we can't build trails. I just want to go out, watch animals interact with their environment and then see how they change based on the factors that are naturally introduced. Can anyone help?

Marine biology is a tough one for me. It was always my dream choice; for years I worked towards turning my life around to pursue it by going back to college and Uni, but the more I read up on it, the more I was put off. The dream seemed like just that, a dream. The dream marine jobs you typically read about and think about are almost non existent and most of the ones that do exist are unpaid. Even marine ecology was mostly just manual labour on nets and winches. Maybe I just had unrealistic expectations? I had visions of diving reefs and such. In the end I switched to zoology, as the modules at my chosen university are very broad and contain a lot of marine and ecology focused topics. I figure this way I can always look in to moving across to marine biology some day if it feels right, but there's still a part of me that wants that dream marine experience.

@kristina_lynn

I think you were kind of spot on, marine biology isn’t all just diving in reefs every day. Even marine coral reef biology researchers I worked with generally only had a few expeditions a year where they did that, and a lot of office and hard work outside of that world. You can still get diving related jobs! It’s just not super lucrative, unless you’re diving is associated with underwater welding or something like that. The reality is that there’s SO few jobs like that (how many people does society need solely to dive and observe beautiful wildlife?) and intense competition because millions of people want work like that so you’re competing with people with PhDs and connections. Most jobs in marine and wildlife involve some hard work, office time, lab work and a lot of not ideal parts. But with ecology, if you’re not picky on location and job duties, I think the prospects are higher than marine bio because there’s many more opportunities. Another thought, if your heart is set on diving in coral reefs, find a job with lots of time off and volunteer with a coral reef preservation project!

@@danithomsen1316 I'm still in University, but I'm working as a coastal/sand dune ecologist right now on a 1 year placement before my final year of study. I guess i've ended up somewhere between zoology and marine biology, as I do encounter quite a few marine invertebrates and sea birds as part of my survey work. Mostly i'm surveying for birds, butterflies, beetles, rabbits, snakes and spiders though so it leans toward zoology. It's not all fun and games though as there's a decent amount of invasive plant control as part of the job, so I have to get my hands dirty with digging and pesticides at times. Invasive plants are particularly harmful to sand dune ecosystems because so many of the native species rely on open sand flats with limited plant cover. I'm not 100% sure yet if coastal ecology is something i'll continue to pursue after my degree, but it's definitely enjoyable being outdoors in the fresh air and I could see myself taking it further. I've sobered a bit on marine biology since the original comment. While the dream jobs are ridiculously hard to come by, I think if you go into it with tempered expectations, you can still find enjoyable work. The seagrass rejuvenation project will have you out in the water diving, or if fish are your jam you could shadow fishermen at sea and study their catches (this seems to be the one of the more frequent marine biology jobs I see advertised). Working at a marine mammal sanctuary is another interesting job where you're hands on with whales, seals and dolphins. Though there aren't many sanctuaries out there so it can be tough competition.

Animal biology could be a good choice. I think as I mentioned there will definitely be some agricultural spin on it and you will likely learn about wild and domesticated animals (unlike ecology, where you don’t learn about domesticated animals). Which is fine! UC Davis is a great school for wildlife biology, I looked at going there for a grad school. If you go there check out the Karen Drayer Wildlife Health Center and the Southern California mountain lion research program! They’re doing some really interesting wildlife work right now.

Ecology and fisheries is a weird combo but that’s fine! As I mentioned mine was “ecology behaviour and evolution” so sometimes there’s some interesting combos, but I’ll bet that degree is probably mostly ecology work anyways so most similar to an ecology degree. If you’re unsure about a bunch of similar programs, try to track down a list of all the coursework needed for each major. Sometimes lists of courses can help you decide to see how relevant or technical the degree looks.

I’m working towards a BA in biology at my university which allows for way more biology electives and less chemistry/physics. I hope to use those extra biology elective credits in the form of ecology related coursework and a semester abroad in Australia with CIEE. Will the “BA in biology” detract employers or will my specific classes and study abroad opportunities (I’m also doing field research next semester) help me just as much as an ecology degree?

idk if you will ever see this but I just finished applying to my colleges for the upcoming year and I was accepted into the university of Hawai'i at Manoa for biology, is that okay for a wildlife biologist, I originally wanted to be a zoologist but I have had a change of heart but your opinion would be amazing. I plan to take lots of ecology electives and wildlife conservation electives to help specialize me:)

I am doing my bsc in zoology.Can I pick ecology for my master's degree??is it a good idea?please let me know 🙃

I'm considering becoming an ecologist/environmental scientist like those National Geographic explorers you see bc I love traveling. At the same time though, ecology doesn't really earn much (the BLS says abt $71000/year I think), so I'm considering getting a secondary career as software engineer/developer for backup income. (I'm also concerned abt living a debt-free life.) Is it realistic to get a degree in both computer science and ecology/environmental science?

What should I pick if I want to specialize in working on the laws of exotic animals.

You could look into an environmental lawyer or environmental policy education route

If I study an associates in biology is it possible to enter the trade even as an undergraduate, I want to be a wildlife Biologist....

General biology ecology and zoology

Hi mam, I would to like study m.sc wildlife biology, is the best way to careers?

Any thoughts on UC- Davis?

Thank you so much for this great video Kristina! I am thinking of changing career and studying environmental science at 37 yo after a career in a corporate job having nothing to do in environment (project manager & innovation in the food industry). I have a quick question: did you see other older students in reconversion when you were studying? and would you say it's still possible to start at my age?

Totally I regularly studied with people in their mid 30s to their 60s! Depends on the school but it’s totally possible and I would recommend doing it! You might stand out a bit in some classes but you have such valuable experience to teach the younger students too :)

@@kristina_lynn That's great to hear that!! What do you mean by depends on the school? Are there schools that accept more senior students? (my first idea was applying to McGill...). thank you again for your quick answer:)

No I just mean some schools have more older students and some have a younger crowd. For example a school next to a military base like mine might have older students because soldiers are going back to school after serving so there’s plenty of people in their 30s. I’m not too sure about McGill! Either way your age will not hurt your application :)

What is (Environmental science) Applied Ecology? How is it different from (Biological science) Ecological, Evolutionary, & Organismal Biology?

Still confused.. Hays.. Im stuck between zool and ecol
