Marine Biology
Marine Biology?

I am looking at possibly going into marine biology. Could someone tell me the pros and cons of being a marine biologist. For example, what are the different areas that a marine biologist would work (private, university, etc)? What type of advanced degree do they have to get (PhD, Masters, etc)? What type of advice could you give a person going into this field?

Thank You

It may be a job extinct soon. With all the destruction of the ocean habitat by commercial fishing. There won’t be anything left.
