1. My career as a Marine Biologist Sam Mosley Fall 2013

2. Why I want to be a Marine Biologist I picked this career because I love animals. As well as studying how they act. I don’t want to be a veterinarian, but I want to work with animals. I will love being able to study animals, and possibly go out in the sea.

3. Job Description A usual day in marine biology is spent in a laboratory, writing results, and examining research results, which includes usually a forty hour work week, but more dedicated marine biologists put in more time.

4. Education or Training You cannot get this job directly out of high school, it requires at least a masters degree, but a doctorate in marine biology is recommended. I plan on going to the University of South Alabama. It requires no training.

5. Salary The average salary in the United States is $72,700. I plan on working in Alabama where the average salary is $63,130.

6. Job Outlook The outlook is low, it has an increase of six percent from 2010 to 2020. The job growth is positive. It will not be too hard to find a job
