Marine Biology 5/8/2014 1st Hour Career Technology

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.

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.

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.
