I want to work with marine life, how can I get involved?

Question

I'm 18, in college, and I need a job. I'm also majoring in marine biology. Is there a job I can apply for at my age that involves animals or sea life?

Answer 1

well you could try to score a job at the local aquarium or maybe call up a whale watching service and ask them if they or anyone they know researches the marine life instead of just commercial tours. Also you could try some websites to see if they offer any jobs/internships or

try to maybe do some free lance photoghaphy and studies on a certain animal and perhaps donate them/sell them to national geoghraphic

it also depends on what spacific organism you want to study; whales dolphins sharks fish plankton crustaceans mollusks invertibrae etc.???
