michelle2177 asked: I usually like your blog. I am a biology major in Florida and have pretty much oooed and awwed at every post but the recent ones about the whale sharks are making me a little upset. You have taken whale sharks supposed wild animals and made them to expect food. Then complain when you jump in the water with them about how they almost hit people with their tails or just sneaking up wanting more...

The most useful link I've ever received and that... →
call-it-kizmet, the star that they are, sent me this link. It is far more useful than me, and can probably answer more of your questions (though we all know the answer is 42):
“This is a website by the US government about their education and experience requirements for federal positions in scientific fields. It’s a good benchmark (for me, at least) to figure out which classes to take at...

god-is-myjudge asked: Hi, i am interested in studying marine biology at university. At school i am studying biology, geography and travel+tourism. I am not a strong mathematician so i was wondering how much maths you would study on most courses?

billyboythecreepiest asked: Hi I am high school student from a city called Hong Kong. My country doesn't offer marine biology programs in university so I am planing to go oversea. What do you think about University of Miami? And I am still not sure whether I should go to UK or US.

kitty-buttz asked: hello, i'm in my first year of university (in the wrong degree!) and i'm taking a year out at the end of this academic year before reapplying for marine biology the following academic year. i'd love to get some hands-on work experience (preferably paid) in my year off, but i'm having some difficulty finding a placement. i've emailed quite a few establishments, but i'm...

letpandasdie asked: I am a Biology student and I intend to get a masters degree in Ecology or Conservation (not necessarily marine-related). I don't have work opportunities in my country (Portugal) and I am keen on studying and working abroad. In which countries do you think these fields are better taught? Where do you think I will have more work offers?

Whale Sharks...
…here I come! After a great two-day workshop with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources - CMMO division in Manila, I’m now (literally right now) on my way to Oslob, Cebu to join the LAMAVE Whale Shark Research project.
You will know these sharks from the international controversy that has followed from fishermen feeding them to allow tourists a closer look. Several...

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! :]

insecureisthenewblack asked: Hi, I need a little help - I'm hoping to study geography and environmental studies, i'm very pro-eco and I just want a career that makes a difference, something along the lines of an ecologist. The only thing is; I don't think I'll make it into uni. Do you NEED a degree in environmental sciences to get a job in that field? If I don't get into uni is there any other college...
