Question

I am very interested in worrking the the marine environement but i also wnat to be able to get a great income doing it. Do you know if i can make money in this field and where i can work so that i can monitor the marine environment and work in the field?

Answer 1

Finding ways to use marine resources or create alternative resources is the way to make money.  Conservation advocacy doesn't pay well very often.

A PHD will allow you to go into academics or research where you can be paid comfortably and still work to monitor the marine environment and work in the field.

Answer 2

Are you interested in money or conservation?

Answer 3

Most careers working with animals or the environment generally do not pay well..people go into it because of their passion and love of animals, not for the money.  Usually the higher the degree, the more money you will make...but there are no guarantees.
