Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
hey don't worry bout that you still have time enjoy your life cause when you start to work as one you can't do anything but work and study so don't worry bout it i understand i'm the same age

Hey.
Don't stress TOO much about what you want to be when you're older- you have plenty of time =D.
But to answer your questions..
First you have to be accepted into a college [duh ;D] and then you have to do 4 years of undergraduate [basic college education with courses aimed at your desired career]. Then it depends on what exactly you want to do. Sometimes you can go for a Master's Degree or a Bachelor's Degree or a Ph.D.
2. 7. What do marine biologists make as a salary?
This is not easy to answer as the variation is great. If you were an average Ph.D. entering a university job these days as an assistant professor, you would earn a salary of ca. 45,000-65,000 USA dollars for the academic year and then could earn a summer salary as well, mainly from grants. Salaries of public school teachers are generally lower and the variation is great. Consulting firms start also in the 40s and above. The upper end is extremely variable but in universities, marine biologists' salaries usually correspond to the average for science professors. A full professor these days in a university is earning 65,000-100,000 and more for the academic year.

3. So which college should you choose? Here's my advice. Don't just choose a college because it has a marine biology program. Many such colleges are not that great and most of the students in such programs don't really intend to have careers in marine biology. Instead, find colleges that are good in science and writing, but also have marine biology faculty. There are lots of colleges in surprising places. For example, Carleton College in Minnesota is a great place but also has a dedicated marine biologist who will inspire you. Gettysburg College in landlocked Pennsylvania is another example of this. Find the best college in which you can enroll and ask whether this college is good in science and writing/communication and also has some marine faculty in whose lab you can work.

I think Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan has a good program, but I'm not sure.
Good Luck!
