Transcript

I'm a biologist and I did research in the Everglades National Park. I got my bachelor's in marine environmental sciences at SUNY Maritime University in New York, and then I got my master's degree in biology at Florida International University. What does your day to day look like? My day to day consists of working at rank environmental consulting company where I collect groundwater and soil samples and also other samples to test resources of contamination before developers build there. How much could you make in this field? Starting salary for an environmental scientist ranges between 55 to 60 k, but it could go upwards to over a $100,000. Is there a high demand for biologists? Yeah. There actually is a high demand because biologists are needed everywhere, but the only thing is that due to federal, budget cuts right now, it's kinda tough for people to work in the field because biologists aren't being compensated as much as they need to best. And also, a lot of biologists are losing their jobs as well. How do you fund college and do you have any student debt? No. I don't have any student debt, and I got my master's degree for free at 23. And I did that by just reaching out to professor that did research that I was interested in, and then eventually landed something in tier Everglades, and my tuition was waived.
