- This video shows the daily duties that are involved whilst working as a marine biologist. There are a lot of extra and very..dirty..realities you need to deal with a scientist!
I've been working for a short time as a postdoctoral research scientist at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, & this video gives you a taster & the reality of the sorts of day-to-day things marine scientists have to do when they are running lab experiments, when we aren't playing on the beach...the boring bits ;)
So...it's been a while! I have finally finished my PhD, and would like to restart my CZcams channel as I finally have the time :) & IT'S ALL I WANT TO FRICKIN DO :D
Still quite new to CZcams, so always welcome constructive criticism :)
Enjoy!

i wanted to quit school and work in a restaurant but my dream is to become a marine biologist ...it's a job that definitely suits me and i'm going to study until it happens
If is your dream then absolutely go for it! There are many ways you can work in ocean protection, whether that is as a marine biologist doing scientific research, working in a charitable organisation promoting their environmental campaigns, or even as a marine wildlife photographer promoting conservation through the arts. If you have the passion, there any different ways you can be an advocate! 😀🐠💙
Thank you I will come back here when it's done
@@JayMinuti Marine Biology is an interest of mine.
@@JayMinuti I heard it’s hard finding jobs in that field
@Joshita Soobiah how's it going now ???
Congratulations on your PhD!! That is such an achievement =) What animals are you keeping in the tanks?
Thanks so much ! In the tanks are some local inter-tidal gastropods (monodonta). We need to do a collab video asap. I'm ready whenever you are 💕
My son is graduating high school this year and he wants to become a marine biologist, he loves marine live and I think he knows a lot about sea animals a lot.
nice video!!🤩 I am currently studying for my exams to enter a good uni and become a marine biologist, but sometimes I'm afraid that i might regret this decision or have to work in the computer all day, my dream is really to help saving the environment... Your video showed me that marine biologists have diverse kinds of work in different days. Thank you😍
Nice🙂
Happy for your success . Thank you for the honesty of what you do . We need that.
This is such an amazing eye opener really very cool for you to be sharing what you do glad you found a suitable position to fulfill your vocation. 👍
Thanks Karl!
My mother held me out of school and I ended up having to work at a restaurant. I've wanted to be a marine biologist for a long time and I have not given up on that dream, I'm just being delayed. I've still got bills, It's going to be hard putting myself through college but it is all going to pay off when I'm on the ocean! Pray me on, it's not going to be easy and it's probably going to take a long time, but I'll be there with you! HERE I COME SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY ^^
You sound super committed which is so great to see. You can do it! See you out there some day! 🌊💙
I’m so scared to become a scientist, but then I remember u go to school to learn how to be a scientist
Yayyy another video 🙆🏻♂️ and I miss the lab already 😫
We miss you too!
You’re awesome! I’d love to see where you’re at now, whether you’re still in HK or elsewhere.
My dream job. Going to work until I get it. Thanks for the video!
This is a great video!! What experiment were you doing in this video? Also how many hours do you typically work per week? Congrats on your PhD!! :)
Thank you!! 🌻 Here I am looking at the impact of heatwaves on these snails 🐌. Now I technically work pretty standard working hours, Mon - Fri, 9-5. But sometimes if experiments require longer working hours, or sometimes work in the night, then we do it! Lately I've been heading out into the field in the dark to catch the low tides, and sleeping in the day time. It varies quite a lot :)
You are literally doing my dream job, like to you it may seem like any other boring day, but to me that sh1ts exciting @.@ also you get PAID!? To do ALL THAT!!!!?????? Heaven. Literal heaven-
Haha there are plenty of these boring days but also plenty of fun ones too 😋
I wanted to do this for so long now since when I was 4 or 5 now I’m 10 and still want to do as a job it’s a dream of mine so what ever you want to do that will make you happy follow it.
That's so great to hear Kaylee! Good luck 💙
I proud for you, this is my dream
your video has made me want to be a marine biologists more ^^
😘💪
My dream to be a marine biologist I love everything about the ocean including sea temperatures to sea creatures and coral reefs. Would u recommend doing this?
Yes of course! There is SO much work to do in ocean conservation. Whether you want to work in research, conservation, advocacy etc! :)
Thanks for the Video
:)!
Always wanted to be a marine biologist but currently finishing an engineering degree. But as my dream Job, I’m gonna find a way to segway into the field hopefully
Ahh there are so many ways you can use your engineering skills in marine science!! We work a lot with the engineering department for different projects. Whether that's help with designing new coastal structures, building artificial seawalls or for help in coral/reef restoration projects to name a few. Your skills will be incredibly valuable in marine science for sure 😊
@@JayMinuti so happy to hear, can’t wait 😄😌
Hi! Congrats on your PHD and i wanted some guidance from you. My country doesn't offer marine biology and the only universities (two) that do offer are not eligible for admission (are highly not recommended due to variety of reasons) and I can't go to them. I can't travel abroad without a GPA-which I don't have. I was planning on studying similar subjects of the field in undergraduate and study marine biology in post graduate in a foreign university, is that okay or do you have any other suggestions?
hiii! love your content! ❤️ i just had question on marine biology careers, and was wondering if you could help me! so i am wanting a career in more of the field work side, and was wondering what careers you know of that are more based in these areas (like being out in the ocean?) thank you 😊
Hey! Thanks so much. Tons of marine bio careers involve being out in the sea. For example, my job (a research scientist/marine biologist) involves lots of ocean time. This job you can do either at a university (like me) or in an independent research institute. Depending on which animals you work with, will depend on what sort of stuff you do! Some work may involve you going out to the ocean to collect animals to bring back to an aquarium where you conduct experiments. E.g. this project you can see here was run for a couple of months in the aquarium, after I collected the organisms from the sea via snorkeling. Or, some projects are 100% in the ocean, for example, reef restoration work (which I am working on now), helping to build new reefs in the sea, or tracking wild animals to monitor their behaviour from a boat, following animals using scuba & a camera to monitor them, etc. So, any research job that involves researching wild animals can involve lots of ocean time :)! You could also work in fisheries or aquaculture, being a manager ensuring sustainable practices are being implemented, that way you would get to travel to different places to assess the practices.
If you prefer, you could work in a conservation organization or an NGO, were they go out and do conservation work directly in the ocean. This could involve doing things like beach cleans, monitoring turtle nests on the beach, or going out on boats to monitor wildlife. Another job idea could be something more advocacy based. So, working for a tourism operator e.g. where you go out in boats as an expert on a whale watching boat tour, giving talks to the tourists about whale conservation. You could also become a qualified scuba diver and teach scuba diving. & as part of it, you could involve teaching the students about ocean conservation, ocean protection etc.
There are lots of different ways to work in this area! Lastly, if you didn't want it to be your main career, but still want to do something for the ocean, you could always use social media in your spare time to share photos & details promoting ocean advocacy! :) xx
I hope this was helpful. Perhaps I should do a video on different marine biology careers? Thanks so much for commenting x
@@JayMinuti wow! thank you so much! this really means a lot 😊😊 and yes please! that would be so helpful! 🤍
You're welcome! 🌻
Ican finish my higher secondary school , this is time for join college help me mam
suddly a calm came over me when the great beast appeared. the sea was rough that day ny friends.like a n old man sending back soup at a deli
now im on my way to finish GED after that ive got 2 major options which are marine biology and culinary arts …
This is awesome. So how difficult (or not) is it to obtain a position similar to yours?
Thank you!! If it is something you are passionate about & are able to commit some time to study then there are so many options for these type of positions. Honestly, no matter what sort of background you have (whether it is biology, maths, business, marketing, admin etc..) there will always be a job in marine conservation that will need you type of skills. Do you have anything specific in mind? x
It's very Beautiful Ma'am 💖your passion your profession and your serene nature...and please if you don't mind...How often do marine biologist dive and spend time with marine animals or is there any specific profession under marine biologist who research by diving into the oceans and be with those beautiful marine plants and wildlife throughout the year.?
I also want to be a marin biologist can you give some advice and some steps which i need to take in order to become a marine biologist
This video has just encouraged me more to become a marine biologists ❤
How much do you get paid
What is the average salary of marine biologist and can we work as Marine biologist in othe country also?
I hope i can last being a marine biologist with a brain that can’t even function i have adhd so like it its hard for me to remember alot of things
Is the PhD worth it?
Hi sister,my curiosity took me here,i just wanted to ask, whether we can have any degree in biology,ms or bs background except marine sciences?Means can we do our bachelor's in any field of biology?,is it necessary?
Do you recommend being a marine biologist?
I also want to be a marine biologist🌊, i love it so much 🌴
May I ask: Can you get a job without going to college? There was somebody saying they became a marine biologist because they were a competant diver and had 7 months of experience under their belt. Is that possible to do?
Hey! Yes it certainly is possible. There are lots of different areas of work in marine science/conservation where you don't need a degree. If you want to work in a science laboratory, you will likely need one. But plenty of areas where degrees aren't necessary, & experience goes a long way! I know a bunch of people who work in this field without degrees.
Honestly I own a dog I don’t mind dirt and being in a lab chilling and cleaning and checking tanks sounds nice so honestly perfect future job
Sounds like you'd do pretty well 😉! Being able to stomach a bit of dirt & general gross stuff is definitely a plus for this type of work 😄
@@JayMinuti ok good cuz I’m used to dirt a lot I have a dog and have been in scouting for seven years now and still have years left so dirt is everywhere always
Hello!! Thankyou so much for this video which tried to educate most of us, I do have some questions regarding this, What subjects do you need to top to become a really great marine biologist? what are the fields in marine biology? and what university/college did you go to and what university and college you prefer for marine biology, are the fields in marine biology only calculation or do you have zoology included in it?
I'm a very very very average student when it comes to sciences excluding biology ( zoology ) but i do not have interests in the fields of medical and i wanted to go for fields which included animals but where i don't cure animals but instead i test them, Maths has always been my weakest subject and sometimes i even fail miserably in it marine biology looks like it needs a lot of chemistry and Maths.
congrats on your PhD!~ 💕
I wish she answered you.
Thank you so much for the comment & I'm very sorry it took me so long to reply! :(
To get into marine biology, it really depends where you want to work. If you want to work in academia (doing research through a university) you will need some formal degrees. I was also a very very average student. I did pretty good in high school, but in college I went really downhill (I got a D in maths, C in biology). So, because my grades were bad, I studied a 'foundation' degree in Zoological Conservation at university first, as well as doing a bunch of extra curricular stuff, and then I went on to do my Bachelors in Environmental Science. All my elective subjects & my final thesis was marine-based, so after that I was able to apply directly for a PhD in marine biology/ecology.
There are SO many fields in this area of academia. You can work entirely in the lab, doing molecular or microbiology, evolutionary developmental biology, stable isotopes, epigenomics etc. You could do more pure ecology, where your work is out in the field, scuba diving, looking at animal behaviour & conservation, environmental effects. There is more 'historical' stuff like paleoecology, biochem or more physics based stuff like geological or physical oceanography. There are more engineering type fields, focused on designing/building new coastal structures, or entirely social based where you work with communities, looking at human interaction with the ocean and ecosystem services. There is also things like remote sensing work, using satellites, biotechnology, or inventing new ways to remotely assess the environment. This is just a few! The different fields will require different skills. Some marine bio subjects require no chemistry or maths at all, whilst some are based entirely on those (biochemistry, biostatistics, data science, big data).
And of course, you don't have to work in academia. You can work for an NGO or a government body doing pure conservation, rebuilding habitats, clearing marine litter, or doing community projects promoting marine protection. You could also work more in policy, working with stakeholders & government institutes to implement marine protections laws, fisheries management, or other private companies.
Don't worry about which university or subject - just chose something that includes classes you are interested in, and it's also good if you can study somewhere that gives you options to gain work experience outside of the university. Or, try to volunteer yourself. You'll help out organisations which really need it, whilst also gaining valuable experience yourself.
Would it be helpful if I did a video on my route into my job (what I studied, my grades etc) and also on the different fields in marine biology?
Thank you again for your comment, & I'm really sorry it took so long to reply!
@@notveryrea1 thanks for the reminder! Just replied :)
What experience did you have prior to this job? The thing im worried about is not being able to find a job after graduating due to lack of experience in the field.
I got this job whilst I was waiting to do my phd defense (there is about ~4 months wait inbetween handing in your thesis & defending). So I had the experience of running experiments during my phd to apply for this job. If you are doing a Bachelors, you can apply for research assistant positions directly after graduating. We hire fresh graduates regularly (& even students who haven't graduated for positions during summer).
I’m straight up using this video for a science project
Let me know if you have any questions! 😉
@@JayMinuti alright will do
When you go diving what kind of organisms do you find most commonly
In Hong Kong, a lot of urchins, different snails, various coral species, crabs, different types of shellfish (mussels, oysters), bunch of different fish!
I'm from Hong Kong and i want to be a marine biologist! I always thought that hong Kong doesn't have marine biology in hong kong unis lol
It definitely does! Lots of marine biology - and related courses. We also have the Swire Institute of Marine Science which is a big marine research station down in Cape D'Aguilar :) x
What are some steps, or processes that you should do to become a marine biologist?
Hi there! I actually made a video on "how to become a marine biologist" which may have some useful info for you!
czcams.com/video/xqOG-TbCkLk/video.html
Typical paths to work in research like me firstly involve getting formal education, although there are lots of jobs which don't require degrees which you can get into, particularly in marine conservation. You can get experience through volunteer work or directly applying for jobs in conservation projects. Do you have any particular area in mind? x
@@JayMinuti thank you!! I'll give your video a watch!!
Hello ma'am, I'm in class 10 & I really want a career related to marine life, so I have some questions & it would be really kind of you if you answer them 🥺
Is it really necessary to pursue science to get such a career? Can I get such a career by doing honours in economics? Are these jobs really tough? What is the average salary a person could get? Is it very risky? Do you get to spend a lot of time in the sea/ocean?
Honestly I want to pursue this career as I love sharks, I don't know why, but I love them, since my childhood I was always fascinated by sharks and this is what brings me to marine life 🦈❤
BTW Love you videos 🤗💖✨
You definitely don't need to pursue science! An economics degree could be GREAT because one huge aspect of ocean conservation is socio-economic aspects. The socio-economic drivers of the shark fin trade for example. During my undergrad, I did a class called “ecological economics” which was my favourite! We learned about sustainable resource management, value of ecosystem services, costs of environmental damage etc. Another interesting route could be working in the shark tourism industry, making that safer for sharks & still economically valuable for people.
Salary is difficult to say because there are SO many different types of jobs you could get. Perhaps I'll do a video on this if you think this would be interesting? I think ocean conservation jobs can be risky, but given how much work is needed, there are plenty of jobs out there. If you have a specialist skill (such as an economics degree!) this would help you stand out & open more opportunities for you. If for example you wanted to work directly in a lab on shark biology, you would need some type of scientific training, but there are many jobs outside of the lab which still involve sharks! I do spend a lot of time in the sea, but also a lot of time infront of my computer :).
You should check out:
projecthiu.com/
They help shark fishermen to stop killing sharks & switch their trade to shark tourism. Another interesting area that an economics degree could help with!
Hope I've answered some of your questions, & please let me know if there's anything else I can help with! Xx
@@JayMinuti Ma'am I'm literally so happy now after hearing that someone can do these jobs with an economics degree also, I literally cannot explain my joy at the current situation 🥺❤ Thank you so much ma'am for replying me, love you loads 🤗💖✨
Also if you make a video on the salary of these jobs it would be amazing & I'm sure everyone will watch it 😊❤
You're very welcome, glad I can help! 🥰
What if I wanan try to find a new creature can I study certain parts of the ocean?
Yes! There are lots of parts of the ocean that are still unexplored :)
Do you have to go to the sea or ocean if your a marine biology?
No, you don't have to! There is a lot of work done whether it is in an aquarium, lab, or at the computer that doesn't involve having to go into the ocean if that isn't something you want to do / or are unable to do :) x
Can someone with a bachelors in biology might be able to break into this feild?
Yes, absolutely! My Bachelors was Environmental science. Any type of biology background would be very useful 😊
Hey Ms.jay this is my dream job for the future and after summer I transition into high school so are there any classes/courses that you would recommend I choose to get that occupation?
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. Any science or math courses would be useful for you! Also geography, or any tech courses can be useful too. But at this stage, just do whatever classes you enjoy, & you can craft your marine career around those 😊.
I love swimming one of my fav sport my uncle in a triathlon before I love sea turtles my fave drink is water and prime so I want to be a marine volviste I am also get at science I got all ms in it (m is mastery)
Hi mam,i am currently pursuing bsc in microbiology and biochemistry and according to new nep syllabus it's 4 years now and they they we can directly go to phd without msc and i want to be a Marine microbiologist can you help me choose the steps to be one?
can you do experiments on big fish like turtles and dolphins
You can do experiments on almost any animals. Of course for animals like turtles or dolphins, you would need large aquariums. People typically dont collect those animals just for experiments; they would work with animals which are already captive (such as those in zoos/aquariums or rescue centres which are unable to be released) for things like behavioural studies. A lot of experiments with bigger animals like that are done in the wild 💫
Hello mam , lots of love from India and I also preparing for becoming a marine biologist
Hi there! That's awesome 🥰🥰🥰
Hello mam, thank you for this video! I'm currently in college majoring in zoology and have plans to do masters in marine biology in the future. ( I'm really interested in it) But I'm bad at math and average in chemistry. Will it be hard for me to pursue my career as a marine biologist or any governmental jobs in that field? It'll be really helpful if you answer!!
Hi there! thank you for your comment. Majoring in zoology will be great to kickstart a career in marine biology. In fact, I actually did my bachelors degree in zoology & environmental science before directly going into my marine biology PhD. There are SO many different areas to specialise in that don't require high level skills in maths or chemistry (actually, I am also VERY bad at these also!!) so don't worry about that at all.
@@JayMinuti I'm interested in science but I'm not the best at math , I noticed that marine biology does not involve a lot of math and physics.
Math is something that most people find too be to hard , even Charles Darwin said that he wasn't good at math.
Hey Camille! You're totally right. I'm also not very good at math. Any type of research will involve a little math, as you need to use statistics to do data analysis. But if math isn't your strong point, it doesn't matter. There will be plenty of people around you who can help, also resources online to help you when you need it. It's definitely not a major part of all marine biology unless you specifically work in physically oceanography, biostatistics, or something like that. Don't let it put you off at all :) x
Mam, how many years it take to be a marine biologist after 12th
Hello! I believe 12th means high school, right? (sorry, bit different where I studied). If you want to do scientific research, you need to go to university & at least get a Bachelors degree (typically 3-4 years), though you will probably then also need to follow that with a Masters degree (typically 1-2 years) or PhD (3+ years).
If you don't want to work in academia, but you'd like to work in another area such as for an environmental government organisation, NGO or other charitable conservation organisation, teaching, work in an aquarium, science communication or a sanctuary you could start volunteering right out of high school to gain experience before applying directly to these jobs. Though, having a Bachelors would be beneficial for these too!
What type of work do you want to do?
Hi, I am a architecture student doing my thesis on marine research Center
I wanted to learn more about the working of the research Center and u plz help in this?
Hoping for a positive response
Thank u
I really want to deal with animals and help the environment but I don't know what major in. Also what courses does marine biologist need.
Hey there! Don't worry too much about which major. I know lots of people working with animals who have studied lots of different majors. For example my major was zoology & environmental science (I didn't study marine bio for undergrad). I know people who have come into the same job as me with degrees in general biology, marine bio, animal science, wildlife conservation etc. There is also a LOT of use for skills in math & computer science, so if you study those they can he heavily applied to working with animals. So don't worry too much about which major it is, just chose one that has a range of options for classes which look interesting to you!
If you know you want to work with animals/environmental work but you don't yet know which area, my advice would he keep it as broad as possible so you can go into different areas afterwards as your interests develop :)
@@JayMinuti Thank you so much, I do want to work with animals/environmental so what would be the best option
Is it okay to get marine biologists even I am fat?
If I wanted to do field studies of fish and other marine life, how would you suggest I try to end up with that as a career?
First step would be to go to school & study either environmental science, wildlife biology, marine biology, or similar. I would try & do some volunteering within research labs at universities, with conservation organisations who do things like going out on boat or beach surveys to study marine life, or even in wildlife sanctuaries. This will give you an idea of the type of work you are most interested in. I also suggest trying to get your scuba diving qualifications (although this isn't necessary, many marine biologists I know don't scuba dive), but it will open up more opportunities for you. Next weekend I'm going to post a video explaining some of the different types of careers you can have in marine science & conservation if you are interested! If you have any more specific questions about certain types of work, please let me know! x
@@JayMinuti Thank you thank you thank you!! I will definitely look in to your video and I can’t express how much you’re response means to me!!!
You're very welcome ☺xx
How much math is involved with being a marine biologist because I’m doing pre cal and chemistry and already struggling but I really want to become a marine biologist
It depends! In research there are some areas you will hardly do any math, whereas some you will do it a lot. Some researchers only need to do a bit of basic math when analyzing data to publish papers (statistics), but a high level isn't required & there are also people around to help/collab with/outsource work too if you're not good with numbers. A lot of biologists I know also hate maths (I also barely passed maths & chem in college). So don't worry, there are LOTS of ways to avoid it 🤗
I'm looking into pursing this career for myself and idk if this is a strange question but I'm wondering how exactly you make money from doing this? How does it work?
It's not a strange question :)! There are tons of options, but some of the most popular as a marine biologist you can work in academia, for example working as a research scientist at a university (that is what I currently do) or become a professor, you teach marine bio & run your own research group (& hire PhD students or researchers like me). In academia the main focus is to carry out new research to advance a particular field through publishing research papers. You can also work in external research institutes eg. Smithsonian, EPA, NOAA, whether these are gov organisations or NGOs or charities. In those you can run research projects, conservation initiatives etc. You can also work in marine conservation directly, places such as The Nature Conservancy, WWF, where you can do work such as replanting reefs, work in endangered species conservation etc. There are also lots of jobs in outreach, so promoting the work of these types of organisations to gain public support. Let me know if you have any specific area in mind & I'll give you as much info as I can! xx
Hey ! Please tell me is there any height eligibility for this field
No, none at all :)
I want to become a marine biologist but am having problems finding colleges near me that offer the courses (Asia). Can someone please suggest what should I do in this case. I'm a newbie and lost.......
There are lots of different types of courses you could take which could lead to a job in marine biology! Where abouts in Asia are you looking?

Hey there! I done my 10th, what course should I take in 11th to be a marine biologist ?? Should I take science?? And after 12th I have to write neet exam?? Is there any entrance exam?? And thanks for the video
Hey 😊! Any course related to biology would be great. However, math is also super useful for work in biostatistics, programming etc. I know people who have been accepted onto marine bio phd programs with a maths or physics Bachelors degree. It all depends on your interests! But if you're unsure, general science would be a good starting point! I'm not sure what a neet exam is, we don't have that in my country so I can't help with that I'm afraid. But for entry onto a PhD program in the UK (where I'm from) or Hong Kong (where I live/work) there are no entrance exams, they just consider your previous education & experience 😊
@@JayMinuti Thanks for the information. 😊
You're welcome!
Ok I hope you see this I’m a very young girl a couple months until I become a teen and I’m very scared of animals that aren’t cats or dogs I’m still trying not to get scared of fish at the ocean but I really want to be in the water and see the animals and interacting with them??? I’m hoping my fears go away as I get older I’m ok with more scientific part ig? And submarine type of research but like I feel I would be happiest in the water 😭
Hey there! Thanks so much for commenting. I wouldn't worry about feeling nervous or afraid. That is totally normal if you haven't spent much time around them! A lot of people get scared of the ocean & what is beneath there who haven't explored it much. My advice would be to try go swimming in the sea whenever you have chance (if you have the opportunity?) And learn how to scuba or even just snorkel. Being able to actually see what's under you when swimming by using a mask actually takes a lot of the fear away! 🌻🌻🌻
@@JayMinutiTy 💗💗
The girl our daughters should look up to!
You're very sweet!!
What salary package do you get
It depends on your experience and institute. Where I am now working (The Swire Institute of Marine Science) typical postdoc salaries range from $28000 HKD - 35000 HKD (Hong Kong Dollars) per month which is quite typical in Hong Kong. You can apply for fellowships where you get more, and some where you get less!
Can you work in this field with just a general biology degree? I'm studying biology and plan to get a PhD in astrobiology but in the mean time I want to work as a Marne biologist. Would a general biology degree allow me?
Yes! Definitely. Lots of people work in this area with just a degree. Its also more common to find people working in NGOs straight after gaining their degrees. You could also start out as a research assistant with your BSc & gain experience from there!
Also - astrobiology sounds really cool!!
What's the difference between marine biologist and biological oceanographer?
Oceanography is more the study of the ocean directly (the physics, seabed geology, plate tectonics, waves & currents) where as marine biology is the study directly of the organisms in the ocean, their physiology, biology, interactions from single species to whole ecosystems. They cross over a lot also but these are the main differences! :)
@@JayMinuti okayy :)
Fish farm
Hi !!! Your salary
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist.
Indeed 🤗🌻
Does this career require PHD? Any entry level jobs with just a bachelors?
No you don't need a phd! There are a lot of entry level jobs you can get with a Bachelors. For example you could work in a research lab as a research assistant. You'll have your own projects, help with others in the lab. Great jobs that pay well!
@@JayMinuti thank you so much 💙☺️
is being a marine biologist hard?..cuz I am thinking of becoming one...but am not so sure
It depends what you do! There are lots of different jobs you can do as a marine biologist, so it depends what you choose! What sort of thing are you interested in?
@@JayMinuti I am interested in studying marine animals..like sharks and fishes...that sort of stuff
If you have this type of interest in marine animals, I would definitely think about studying marine science! Studying would be quite broad & include some difficult subjects, but after you study, you can choose which area you like the most, & get a job in that field! You can go into lots of different jobs to work directly with sharks or other fish, such as research or conservation work, or even working in an aquarium or rehabilitation centre. Or you could go into work like teaching scuba diving, a marine charity, being a marine veterinarian, or even work as a wildlife photographer, specializing in the marine world!
I’m making a new video on different types of jobs for a marine biologist, so it may give you some ideas! Let me know if you have any more questions x
