WHAT ARE MY PROSPECTS FOR FINDING A JOB IN MARINE BIOLOGY?
• Tough competition presently exists for jobs in marine biology. There a few jobs available and many people who want to fill them. MSI is one of the few marine biology oriented job sites in the Bay Area. The Institute provides a unique stepping stone for college graduates interested in marine biology who may have not yet decided which of the two directions to take, education or research. • Entering the field is a hard thing to do initially. Acquire as much volunteer and work experience in the field as you can. The more experience that you have, the greater the advantage you will have over competitors. • To succeed as a marine researcher will take hard work, perseverance, and a competitive spirit – succeeding in this field is not easy – but can be extremely worthwhile! • To succeed as a marine educator will take less schooling than a marine researcher, but the same requirements of hard work and a competitive spirit still apply. GOOD LUCK!
