Hey! :)

Postby Barbara_Gable :) » 8/23/12

I am a Junior in high school. My dream evey since I was a small child has been to become a marine biologist. I never have looked into it much, but now that I am facing my junior and senior year, i am starting to research a lot more. I am taking a creative writing class currently, and I must come up with a presentation about my top 3 career choices. One of our reqquirements it to have either a video or an audio interview with someone who practices in the field of our choosing. I hit a brick wall with that one. I have no idea where to even start, you don't really hear about marine biology around here. I came across this site in my research and I am really hoping someone here can help me out? If so, thanks, if not, thanks anyway. :)

Hi Barbara! Welcome to the forums. :) If you still need an interview, well, I'm a marine paleontologist - I study long dead stuff. But could possibly help you out. If your deadline has already passed, I'm sorry we didn't get back to you sooner! Good luck. :)
