Hello Kristina I was wondering if you could please tell me in your studies you have stubled upon the subject of animal telepathic abiliIties? Is it a studied phenomenon and could it perhaps be a new field of research when thinking about ecology balances and networks? If its true of course. Thank you again for your videos!!!

Hi! Just wanted to say how helpful your channel is! I am currently pursuing biological pre-medical illustration and have been considering switching to ecology. I love hands on stuff (I grew up on a farm) and miss it a lot. I have also have also kind of lost my passion for art as a career and want to do it as more of a hobby. I have been watching your videos this past week and have found them helpful in making pros and cons for switching my major. I am still on the fence but only because of how hard it will be to keep a job and network to get new ones. Do you have any advice for how you handle this? I think a big thing that I cannot do is a monotonous job. I have had many part time jobs like this and find my intrest wane and then my work suffers. Although nature is so beautiful and interesting I don't think I will ever get bored. I am going to take an ecology class this summer and will see if I like it. Love your videos! Stay healthy!

@kristina_lynn 3 жыл бұрын
I think that your plan to take an ecology class is a great one. its so hard to tell if you will love to do something enough to commit to a career in it without ever having tried it. If you're open to a wide variety of environmental jobs and being flexible on location then I'm pretty confident you'll be able to find work. Lots of people start off doing the less glamorous jobs like trail maintenance, pest application, research assistants/field data entry which are way easier to get and work their way up from there. if you like your ecology class and are excited about the natural world then it could be a good career for you

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how I can get my foot in the door with bird research- it seems like the jobs I’m qualified for (avian survey tech, etc, until I have more experience) all require me to go somewhere for 3-4 months. I would be more willing/able to do with if it weren’t for the fact that my husband and cats would be somewhere else. Do you know biologists who are married? how do they navigate keeping a healthy relationship while still going for the jobs that excite them?

@kristina_lynn 3 жыл бұрын
I think at the beginning of this career its super common for a lot of jobs to require lots of travel. Some people do long distance, some people relocate to a job hub, but if you aren't willing to or unable to do that then your job pool is going to be drastically limited to your immediate area. so I would look for more local government and smaller non-profit types of opportunities if you can't travel and expand what you're willing to take (look for general environmental tech jobs vs bird jobs). unfortunately if your local area doesn't have the specific species you want to work with you'll have to make a choice of whether you want to move or settle for something that's not ideal

If you don't me asking, how did you get the opportunity to work at an animal sanctuary? What steps might one take to work with wild animals that way, even if for a short term? The only opportunities I could find online were ones you had to pay hundreds of dollars per week out of your own pocket, and because the required length of time was always at least 4 weeks, the money would add up to over $1000. For students, this can be quite difficult to do, even if they really need the opportunity/experience. I know internships and volunteer work is unpaid and I honestly dont have an issue with that, its the having to pay for your own work thats questionable for me. So if you could explain just how you got into working with wolves and cougars (ie, did you pay the sanctuaries for that experience?), I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I have an important question. I'm guessing entry-level field research jobs do not come with housing accommodations; i.e. research assistant, science aid, field/research intern. How do entry-level people accept these jobs (few) when they're far from where they live for minimum wage? Damn this video is hard. I often have to do multiple takes for recorded stuff lol

Many seasonal positions do come with accommodation. Otherwise you get a lot of roommates so your rent stays cheaper. some people live in vans or campers too. many times field positions are in rural areas too where rent is cheaper
