Education & training • A degree in biology, or a related field of science underlying ecological research that included at least 30 semester hours in basic and applied biological sciences. These hours must have included at least 9 semester hours in ecology and 12 semester hours in physical and mathematical sciences.
Job outlook & availibility • Employment of biological scientists is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations although there will continue to be competition for some basic research positions. • Employment of biological scientists is projected to grow 21 percent over the 2008—18 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations, as biotechnological research and development continues to drive job growth. Biological scientists enjoyed very rapid employment gains over the past few decades—reflecting, in part, the growth of the biotechnology industry.
salaries • Median annual wages of zoologists and wildlife biologists were $55,290 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $43,060 and $70,500. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $33,550, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $90,850.
Why this profession? • I chose this profession because I have always had a passion for the outdoors and I love spending my time outside. With this career I can help better the environment, habitat, and wildlife while doing something I can wake up and look forward to everyday.
Steve Irwin (crocodile hunter) • Irwin was a passionate conservationist and believed in promoting environmentalism by sharing his excitement about the natural world rather than preaching to people. He was concerned with conservation of endangered animals and land clearing leading to loss of habitat. He considered conservation to be the most important part of his work: “I consider myself a wildlife warrior. My mission is to save the world's endangered species.” Irwin bought large tracts of land in Australia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the United States, which he described as "like national parks" and stressed the importance of people realizing that they could each make a difference.
