Yessss!

Heyy buddy can give me some carrier guidance I am in 11 th now plzzzz tell me

Can u tell me how to be a marine biologist. When I enter to the high school

@@dvlogz3666 Tbh it is very straightforward in my case, I enrolled into one of the foundation program and progressed into my bachelor's degree straight after my O levels (btw i am from Malaysia, O level is equivalent 11th grade )

@@sohamvedak2523 I am not good enough for giving out advice, but i have learned two important things in terms of further study. 1st know what u want before enrol into any course (can u imagine questioning yourself why u choose the wrong major after 3 years of uni :') ). 2nd always search up the course outline before enrolment, subjects offered are depending on the university it self and will greatly influence the field of knowledge and skillset u own in the future.

Thanks so much for the comment Emily! Good luck for next year starting college, and stick with it! Research really is so much fun, you’ll love it :)

I’m so glad to hear! There’s definitely pros and cons to Marine Biology but I think it’s important to know that it’s information and a curiosity you’ll have for a lifetime, so stick with it even after university! Even 5 or 10 years down the track you can still be involved in research and protecting the marine environment 💙

If you like diving some ideas could be a scuba instructor or even an underwater photographer! And for lab work you can always volunteer your time on boats and in the lab to get some experience to see if you would like it!

No worries!! thanks man

Grazie! You could always study Marine Biology in Italy and travel around the world for projects! Lots of Marine biology is in the laboratory and research!

hahaha stay tuned, everyone has 125 at some point!

Jake Battersby hahaha thought you might enjoy those keys!

Yeah I know a few!! I’ll see what I can do! Stay tuned, and thanks for the comment :)

Hey Christian! Great question! I grew up in the desert in Australia so I know how you feel. The best way to look out for the ocean while you’re far away is to minimise your waste (plastics, food, and natural resources), plant some trees, recycle, make a veggie garden at home, and find a way to help out in your own natural environment if there is a local action group or council! It doesn’t matter how far away we are from the ocean, doing our part to help our own natural environment helps the ocean out as well, and makes us all better eco friendly citizens! But keep researching the ocean and questioning why things are the way they are! One day you’ll be in the ocean and you can join the rest of us trying our best to help! I hope that helped!!

James Melky yes it did help very much! Do you have any ideas on where I should start for question things about the ocean?

Maybe you should start reading up about marine biology- science magazines and things like that- you might find an interest ? And if you do then you could study marine biology and be a field biologist? You could dive and collect samples in the sea !!

Hey! Where are you thinking of taking the gap year? Definitely a lot of them out there are voluntourism.. but there’s some good stuff out there! :)

@@Melkymann I’m not sure yet! I’m definitely going to have to work for a couple months (while staying in my house in England) just so I have the money to be able to travel and possibly do volunteering if I can find some! :) I have family in Puerto Rico and Brazil so that’s a possibility, but I LOVE the idea of Australia, it seems so beautiful (though I’ve never been).

@@anniemcmahon6778 there’s definitely some cool opportunities on that side of the globe! I have a few friends who have studied and lived in Brazil, and Costa Rica which always seem to have turtle conservations and other marine volunteering and internships. I’m sure Puerto Rico would have similar opportunities! As for Australia, there’s heaps of islands near the east coast of queensland which are always looking for people to work there, usually on their gap years. Also on the west coast, in Exmouth (near Ningaloo reef) there’s opportunities all the time to work with dolphins, whale sharks, and other marine opportunities. If you’re able to get your expenses paid while you volunteer as well (which lots of remote places offer) that would mean less time saving up while in England, and more time on the water :) Also, planning a video on this topic soon! So stay tuned..

@@Melkymann thank you so much! I’ll be looking into that, and I’m hyped for that video haha :)

Mitch Drescher it’s a rare species ;)

Mitch Drescher are you in Darwin?

James Melky got back to Bris yesterday!

Ahh unlucky! We just got to Darwin for the Arafura games

James Cook University in Townsville has a great marine biology program, however I studied at Flinders university in Adelaide which has a great honours/ masters program. But there are lots of great Universities in Australia. Tasmania and Western Australia could also be great options depending on the topic you would be interested in researching!

@@Melkymann bro I'm interested in Marine mammals. So I'm planning to join in James Cook University. Is that ok?

@@harishankar4076 Yeah bro James Cook University is so good!

@@Melkymann what are the subjects to prepare (to focus more) before taking msc. Marine biology

@@harishankar4076 I would say a background in chemistry and maths is super helpful!! (but not essential)

Hmmm.. tough choice, we need lots of both in our world! And as for travel, both doctors and marine biologists can be anywhere in the world, so do whichever makes you happy!

be a doctor on a ship that teaches marine biology like Semester At Sea or join Doctors Without Borders

I was/am in the same boat as you (no pun intended). I was planning to become a neurologist and now am looking at Ichthyology or marine biology. I'm just going to explain why I decided that a medical career may not be right for me, and maybe it'll help you. 1. Travel, travel, travel. Many medical fields have opportunities for travel but can also lead to no true "home base" and travelling is not always an easy option for all medical positions. Secondly on that note, I live in the US but would prefer not to stay in the US. I found that the cost of medical school would be impossible to pay off in most European countries and didn't want to hinder my travelling abilities housing and me time wise. 2. I personally struggle heavily with my anxiety and stress levels but have learned to cope over the years (especially after therapy), but found that most medical scenarios would really damage my mental well being and especially with my issues of existentialism, hospitals may not be a great place for me. 3. The fun of it. Imagine literally being paid to spend time with animals and find new things in the world of science, it sounds like so much fun. 4. Personal interest. I just found that marine sciences seemed a lot more fun to read and look in to and would give me opportunities to truly look closer at something I am interested in. Even though I have strong feelings about mental health and illnesses, I also truly care about the entire world of science and for me, it just came down to looking at the life I wanted and what the long term affects would lead to a happier and more fulfilling life for myself. I hope this helps a bit :)

@@4-1-19 we're probably twins, 'cause i'm actually in engineer's study i will probably drop out my study, to study biology, and more specificly marine biology for all the reasons you talked about. Ps : i apologie in advance for my english, i'm French

@@baptistedromard7887 First off, your English is actually really good. And as someone who took French for 3 years, I understand that English and French are very different. Also YES!!! Science is so much fun

Hey Ayman! Marine biology is just a subcategory of marine science. So marine science also includes a whole list of topics like ecology, climatology, geology etc. Whereas marine biology just focuses mostly on the living organisms in the ocean.

@@Melkymann thanks for the info 😃

Yes of course! It’s not essential but in the long term it would be really valuable

I studied a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Marine Biology in Australia :)

Jasmine Eeles always room for a part 2!
