What is a Marine Biologist? • Marine biologists study fish and other wildlife that inhabits the oceans. • They study the physical characteristics of animals, their behaviors, and the impacts humans have on wildlife and natural habitats. • The oceans contain more than 97% of the total water on the Earth, and account for nearly 99% of the Earth's living space, owing to their area as well as depth. • I became interested in this career field when I went deep sea fishing and caught some interesting fish. • I will be researching: • Nature of Work • Working Conditions • TQA/ Education • Job Outlook • Money/ Salary • Related Occupations
Nature of Work • Collect Data. • Study characteristics of animals. • Give presentations on research findings. • Develop and conduct experimental studies with animals. • Estimate, monitor, and manage wildlife populations and invasive plants and animals.
Working Conditions • Marine Biologist work in offices, laboratories, and outdoor. • It is a mixture of both mental and physical work. • You may end up diving depending on the task or doing some experiments and collecting data. • Working full time (Irregular hours). • Working with Data, People and Things.
Training Qualifications Awards • Bachelor’s Degree in the field of Biology heading further into. • Ph.D. • Students typically take zoology and wildlife biology courses in ecology, anatomy, wildlife management, and cellular biology. • I will go to Oakland University to further myself in the career.
Job Outlook / Employment • I want to find this career’s openings somewhere along the east coast. • There is no particular place that I would enjoy working at. • Slower than average employment Rate. • The employment rate is rising. • Competitive.

Related Occupations Micro Biologist • Microbiologists study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites. They try to understand how these organisms live, grow, and interact with their environments. • Microbiologists work in laboratories and offices, where they conduct scientific experiments and analyze the results. Most microbiologists work full time and keep regular hours. • A bachelor’s degree in microbiology or a closely related field is needed for entry-level microbiologist jobs. A Ph.D. is typically needed to carry out independent research and to work in colleges and universities. • Micro Biologists are projected to grow 7 percent from 2012 to 2022 • The median annual wage for microbiologists was $66,260 in May 2012. • Max told me to be it
Summary • I look forward to pursuing this career in my life. From the information I have researched I learned what I can earn in this career, how many years of schooling is needed and much more. The one thing I look forward to the most is being able to work with marine life. One thing I look forward to the least is having to report all my findings and prepare presentations. I still would enjoy having this job because I still find it awesome.
