lishthefish asked: I want to have a career in some sort of marine biology-esque setting. The college I attend does not offer a degree in marine biology, so I'm getting a degree in Biology. Will I have a tougher time finding a job as a marine biologist with a Biology degree than I would with a marine biology degree? All of the colleges that offer such a degree are very far away from me. Thank you! :]

FINALLY
got to dive the amazing bay I’d been snorkeling on, and seeing cool shit (read: cephalopods) for two months. A great way to end my internship with Zoox in Puerto Galera, Philippines.
Here are the photos.

queenofthelot asked: Thank you for taking the time to read my question! I am interested in possibly becoming a marine biologist. It has been a sort of dream of mine since I was little, easily influenced by living in Southern California and having about a 30 minute drive to the Birch Aquarium. Anyways, I've taken Biology, Chemistry and am currently taking a Physics course in high school for a junior year science....
