Im so young atm but my passion for the ocean is insane I've always dreamt of being a marine biologist.. im so scared that i wouldn't achieve it...

[ColbyDeBorzoi]

THANKS YOU!!!! even though I'am 11 I really like marine biology and I hope I can become one in the future!

I'm 2nd year marine bio major- I'm awkward and independent and hate asking for help. But THANK YOU as my new semester starts tomorrow and I'll be making my 1st appt with my professor 🤣

[ivykallista]

i'll be in second year this october !❤️

Do you think it'd be a good idea to get a general biology bachelors degree first and then get a masters in marine biology?

[VampyPanda]

Hello! I've discovered your video kinda late but I was watching this and realized you're a current student at UAS and I live in Wasilla AK and enrolled into UAA to begin my biological science degree 😀 my dream is to be a marine biologist as well since I was 5. I just wanted to say hi its really cool that I found your videos and that I can relate to you being so close. Thank you for your content it has really helped me gain the confidence I need to finally follow my dream to study the ocean and its inhabitants.

Thank you so much! I am 9 years old and I want to study Marine biology and paleontology and this helped me so much!!

[Staceyishere]

I was also looking at UAS so I’m glad I found this video (even though I am late to it lol) and I am very excited to start next year 🎉

Pls tell something for the kids from 10th who are interested in marine biology

I'm transferring to CSU Monterey Bay this coming spring :) thank you for this video!

[KKMarineLuvers]

Hi I love this video sooo much! Great advice 💙🐳🐬🐠🐙🪸

[Bookswithmolls]

I liked this video so much I’m thinking of maybe becoming something in the marine field and this was helpful!

When you say “research the school”, What ways do you recommend doing this? Any tips?

You’re from California, right? Which California schools do you recommend for Marine Biology? We are really just going off of the top rated ones. My daughter doesn’t have a speciality she is looking into, like you have so we’re really not sure what else to go off of.

UCLA is ranked #1, but obviously a tough college to get into.

She is also looking at UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, California State Long Beach, and UCSD.

Also looking into University of Hawaii at Manoa. (We just returned from touring the school, but didn’t get specifics about the Marine Biology program).

This was a great video. Thank you. Good advice on the professor hours too. (Marine bio, or not).

Hiya! Is there a university that studies coral reefs and reef fish? I really want to know which university has that kind of role!





I am 11 years old and i am planning on thinking what university should i pick when i grow up!😄

[anyway]

Quick question...In Czech Republic we dont have marine biology as a bachelors degree. Would you recommend a Protection of Aquatic Ecosystem as an option?

[ishitasarkar]

Hi. OMG i finally found someone who's interest in the same field as mine. I'm currently doing my bachelor's in zoology and I have the same dream as you. I'll be graduating soon but 'm confused on which University to choose. I have been accepted in JCU as they have tentative marine mammal as well as conservation included in their course. So any suggestions would really be helpful!

[officialshaina]

Question. I am going to college and I want to be wildlife vet or aquatic and is marine biology the same as aquatic vet or which do you prefer? And what classes and courses should I take? And as far as wildlife should I get into zoology or? Idk haha im a little on both sides with wildlife and aquatic and well as marine biology. I'm also going to RCTC that's In Minnesota :)

[ashtonmalla]

Thank you, I wish to become a marine Biology/Ecologist !, I love marine life and the environment.

[Jxminim]

Thank you so much micha, you truly gave me a new, more refined perspective on how to approach my dream field!

im starting this late August! im very nervous
