Not sure if it sucks but some trash gal every year when school started up would say she wanted to be a marine biologist because they went to Seaworld over the summer. I've yet to ever meet one.

Anyone else experience this?

I was advised not to go into marine biology as a career field by my undergraduate advisor. Not that I was expressing interest in doing so. He just offered it as unsolicited advice and I always remembered it.

In any case, I think marine biology enthusiasts are drawn to a career that takes them to the ocean and sunny weather. But if that’s the case, I would much rather do oceanography. I was a big Robert Ballard fanboy growing up.

Our 14 year old has said she wants to be a marine biologist for years. I think she thinks they play with dolphins all day. I know other parents with similarly aged kids who also want to be marine biologists. I’m not sure why that career is so enticing to middle schoolers.

I’ve known about 10 marine biologist. All of them love their jobs. With exception of the two that work at sea world and the one that worked at Disney.
