Biology?

I am really into Biology..enviromental biology. Do any of you older people have jobs in the fields of enviormental biology? What kind of jobs are in that field? Just curious.....................thanks family

 

You could work for the local water treatment plant, sewage and drainage, the SWA. You could do all sorts of stuff in the national wildlife sanctuaries.

 

environmental activism.....i plan on going for some kind of degree in environmental landscaping, which is just a fancy name for ecology.
i printed off this thing for all courses in the college i'm going to go to, and here's what they put down for careers in this field:
Arboriculture (Tree Care)
Commercial Landscape Management
Environmental Planning
Interiorscape Design & Maintenance
Landscape Design & Installation
Landscape Irrigation
Landscape Salesperson
Nursery Specialist/Propagator
Park Supervision
Residential & Estate Maintenance
Retail Nursery Sales
Wholesale Nursery Production


those all sound boring except for the tree care one......environmental activism

 

I agree.. that's the only one that really caught my interest.

I remember Neil Young singing about her on the Greendale album.

 

Hi Surf. I hope your question was serious, 'cause this is a serious answer.

There are quite a few at Entrance level scientist jobs for someone coming out of school with a B.S. in Biology. These exist in the private sector and in Local, State and Federal gov't.

Work includes; doing wetlands surveys, fish and animal surveys and scientific sampling. Writing reports and proposals is in there too, as well as many other scientific disciplines. But mostly you'd be doing what they tell you to do for a couple of years, just like everywhere else.

If you're serious about majoring in Biology, I'd tell you to take school work as your first step. During the course of schooling your interests in the field might change or grow in other areas, so you don't have to feel like you're locked into something you've lost interest in. Whatever.

I know quite a few folks who work in the environmental field. A number of private sector companies have retained their ethics, and the folks who work for them are happy with what they do.

Go For It....
