3. 3 CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Engineering, and Computer Science Departments will all train people for ocean related careers. Consider these ideas before you decide: - Many ocean related careers are relatively new and will continue to change. Well-rounded, interdisciplinary backgrounds are preferred. - Ocean careers can be the same as land careers - only in a different setting. With new technology, you can live far from a coastline and still pursue a career in marine science.

4. 4 - Most marine scientists do not spend their days SCUBA diving on coral reefs nor training whales at Sea World. - Supply and demand determine the positions available. Student’s science and math skills should match their career objectives. - There is a shortage of applicants to graduate schools in oceanography, acoustics and atmospheric chemistry; only marine biology attracts large numbers of applicants.
