Biology major
Right now I am trying to earn a biology degree. I have a full ride scholarship, but only for my state. So I want to major in biology, move to florida and go back to school there for enviornmental science. I really want to work in the marine biology field, but it seems that there aren't really degrees for this. Basically what I am asking, does it seem like I am doing the right thing right now? Biology is a very difficult degree to pursue and I just don't want to move far away from home, and then not end up with a satisfing job. Are there any biology majors out there with some good advice?

Hi there. I'm a biology major. Anyway, you can always major in Biology in your state school and go out of state for your graduate school. Florida has a lot of PhD schools in Marine Biology. If you want to work in the marine biology field, you have to take your upper division classes with as much marine sciences as possible along with whatever required courses you need to take to complete your BS in Biology.
Use this website I found for schools in the different states, but you can scroll down to Florida to see the schools you're interested in.

If you do come to Florida, I suggest a school in South Florida. You have the Everglades right there to conduct lots of research. I can imagine most marine biology concentrated students have to involve themselves in research projects and whatnot.

What I would do is pursue it in school here in the states to a college nearby and study abroad in a country for example I know in Ecuador they have powerful marine biology programs there,and they have prestigious colleges where the classes are in English and they can help you get a degree in that, and then you can go back to public college where they can use the credits from down there to here. I know a friend of mine went there for agricultural and chemical engineering and then she went to Miami University of Ohio and they used those credits she took there and counted them as she took them in Miami.
