Marine Biology is what I would like to study. I want to become a marine biologist because I want to discover new species. I want to go to the 70% of the ocean that has not been discovered. Marine biologists also get to go travel to different places. They not only get to seethings underwater which not many people get to see, but they also get to see places on land which not many people get to see. Marine biologists are also interesting to me because they get to swim for most of their work day. I love the water and swimming. Marine biology is a very interesting and intriguing career to me.
Marine biology is the study of marine life in salt water ecosystems. It can also be described as observing how marine species interact with one another. Certain species of underwater plants can affect the environment in which they are put in. Some branches of marine biology study the affects of said plants. There are many branches of marine biology. Many people tend to study dolphins or sharks, since those are the most known marine animal. Only 30% of the world's oceans have been explored. This means that by being a marine biologists, I can have the chance to explore parts of the world that have never been seen before. Not many people are willing to go through the dark places of the oceans. This is what I want to do, because I would be the first one to see what is hidden behind the veil of darkness.
I would like to be a marine biologist because not much of the ocean has been explored. If I could explore at least 1% of what has not been seen, I would be satisfied. I would like to be a marine biologist so that I can discover new species of marine life. Some marine biologists have found evidence of enormous squids, but have never seen their entir...

...me disadvantages in becoming a marine biologist, but the advantages outweigh them. The education is extensive, but it is definitely worth it. The education and training that is needed is not as much as some occupations, though. Since only 70% of the earth's ocean has been explored. If I become a marine biologist, I may be able to explore that.

Veterinary technician needs 2 years of college. Vets need to take biology, sciences and as well as math. Vets work with all different types of animals. What did vet do in the past. What was the pros and cons to being one and what was the skills for the job.
...ms within. I grew up on the lake, so water will and has always been a part of my life. I go to the beach almost every year, so I am frequently involved with the ocean life as well. My dad is a fisherman; he has been to many places and shown me many unique animals he has caught. I feel that it would be the most interesting job to have because there is a huge ocean to explore. Another awesome part of the job would be the idea of always learning new things about the fish. It would never turn into that job that has the same old routine because discoveries are still being made. The only down side to being a marine biologist is constantly smelling like a fish and dealing with the rather large fish that could endanger my life. But every job is going to have a down side, if these two are the only downsides to having this job, then I would have no problem conquering my fear.
"If we recognize our talents, use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field," Dr. Ben Carson. If accepted into Cornell University, I would pursue a major in Biological Sciences. Aside from the impact of this major on our societal and collective evolution, I am inspired by the utility of the discipline. It is through the knowledge and application of biological sciences that we can achieve what was previously only dreamed of. Fascinated with biological science; fixated with medical mysteries, revolutionary medical discoveries, and the urge to make sense of the unknown is why I am pursuing this field of study. The application of biological sciences can be used to meet an objective or solve a problem; this and my innate sense of empathy towards the many adversities and wonders of life, amplifies my yearning to help others through the use of medicine.
As one develops knowledge of this career it is essential to have an understanding for what it is regarding. Zoology is a branch of biology that concerns the study of animal life (Zoology). Animals, in this frame of reference, are any living organisms that are not fungi, plants, viruses or bacteria. Animals include creatures like marine sponges, jellyfish, frogs, worms, rock lobsters, snails, insects, birds, fishes and mammals (Types of Zoologists Z). Zoology has evolved into a different study as it now consists of psychology and ecology; where as it use to only concentrate on the structures and function of the cell (Zoology). Zoology applying ideas and techniques to life processes has not only grouped together different fields, but also created connections to other science fields; it allows animal’s relationships with each other and its environment to be explained more easily (Hanson). Zoology embodies organizations that carry groups of individuals that are educated in an equivalent field. The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) is the most substantial membership group for zoology majors. The AZA has over 6,000 members worldwide at professional levels. Also, The Zoological Association of America welcomes all levels of zoology m...

In 5 years time: I aim to have landed a laboratory and field technician role in a reputable company such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Or be working in a role such as a field scientist for a company such as Blue Ventures that will allow me to work along side and guide volunteers, while allowing me to educate them on the importance of marine ecosystems. I also aim to have published a paper based on the work I am doing at that particular time. My “plan B” is to be working as a high school science teacher educating generations about the importance of science in our lives, especially that of marine and wildlife biology and the impact that their decline can play in our
My career I chose is being a Marine General and my reason for studying this career is my dad is a Marine. He was promoted to general and I would like to be like my dad and carry it on in our family, generation to generation.
I would like to be a Forensic Science Technician, simply because I find this kind of stuff interesting. A Forensic Science Technician does many things. Four things they do are run ballistics tests on guns to find the one used in a bank robbery; collect evidence from a crime scene to help understand the chain of events; match DNA samples to reunite a long lost child to his/her family; and solve a crime by matching fingerprints at the crime scene to a suspect. One of the top reasons I would join this career is because I want to be able to solve a crime if someone needs help. The second top reason I would join this career is because I watched CSI all the time before I got too busy with school, but I still watch it when I can. I think I would like this job because I always found it interesting to watch CSI and figure out how they solved the case. I also like to guess on who done what and why did they do it.
In the degree that I am seeking I know there will be a lot of science to take. Science has always come natural to me, possibly because you can actually see the product and touch it. I plan to become a veterinarian not just for the love of animals but for the science and knowledge also. The dissecting of animals has always been interesting to me. It is a whole new world that I can wait to explore even more. It is amazing how God made living creatures. I just want to help keep them form getting sick and doctoring them when they do.
While both fields carry importance within the science community, I feel that both should be given equal opportunities to be explored. Prager also expresses that students should have more opportunities for fieldwork and research when studying the seas. She continues to express the importance of fieldwork to not only students in marine sciences, but in any field of science. The physical action of working and collecting data alongside performing observational studies has been proven to improve students’ ability to learn. Prager vocalizes that the discovery and uncover of the mysteries of the oceans is through the future generation of scientists. In my eyes, the money spent on ocean and space exploration should be equal. The general understanding is that the creation of life might have begun in the depths of the oceans. With a scientific background I feel as if the exploration of the oceans should be given more attention to the exploration of space. The exploration of the oceans might lead to new clues on how the human population truly came to be. Marine exploration should be just as important as space exploration because this bias of funding is not evenly distributed within the science community. I learned that our actions here on land in terms of trash and debris management have a huge impact on the marine life throughout the oceans, as certain areas of the ocean are becoming dead zones due to our negligence and improper disposable of our debris. Prager concludes with the discussion of how the oceans are changing due to the impact of human negligence, and the importance of scientific research to understanding how these changes will affect our lives in the
Choosing the right career can be difficult for some. There are many things someone should look into when trying to choose their perfect profession. A person has to look at the profession and see if it fits their skills well. Also do they enjoy the jobs compensation and tasks? Luckily for my school I had to take a mandatory class that helped me choose the right technical program which lead into the perfect job for me. The marine technician career is the best fit due to its salary, job availability, daily tasks as a technician, and training it offers because they all apply to my hobbies and interests.
Basic Biology was something that I always wanted to complete. It would provide me a better understanding of whatever my family doctor says whenever I go to see him for a check up and how certain foods affect my body.
Zoology is a branch of biology that focuses on the study animals. It is concerned with all aspects of animal life, including the origins, behaviors, diseases, and genetic makeup of every kind of animal. The work zoologists do involve teaching and research. The national median salary for zoologist is around $57,000 a year, with most earning somewhere between $36,000 and $94,000 a year. Zoologist with a bachelor 's degree earn the lowest salaries, while those who have a masters degree can make significantly more. A zoologist can become the curator of a zoo, or obtain a research position at a 4 year college, where he or she could make upwards of $145,000 a year. High school students interested in a career in zoology should make sure that they have a good understanding of the basic sciences by taking courses in chemistry, biology, and physics. Math, computer and english courses would also be helpful. If you have a bachelor 's degree in biology or zoology you may be able to get a job as a field or lab technician. With a masters degree in biology, zoology, or a related discipline, you may be able to get certain discipline, you may be able to get certain research positions in government or industry, or you could become a research assistant to an academic zoologist. Zoology research is usually done in a lab or in habitat of the creatures being studied. Depending on the job, zoologist may need to spend several weeks, or even
When the average person thinks about zoology, they usually think about a zoo and or animals. As said in General Zoology, many questions come with this topic. “What is life? In what ways are the various kinds of animals alike or unlike in structure, internal processes, and modes of life? How do animals carry on their activities? How are the many kinds related to one another? In what ways does man resemble and differ from other living things? The answers to many of these questions are provided by the science of zoology.” (General Zoology, page 3). While zoology does involve animals, the general study of zoology is far more complicated then one would imagine. Zoology is a branch of biology that studies the classification, origins, habitats and behaviors of organisms. Someone who studies zoology is a zoologist, and has the tasks of learning about new species and their habitats. It is a job that if mastered, can be one of the most fulfilling and knowledgeable careers someone can obtain.
As a mariner its important to know about the marine life, that was one reason I have chosen this topic for my today’s short presentation.
