CAREER PROJECT

By: Gabe pohlel

Overview
The field I would like to go into is biology because to me it is very interesting.
In this field, you could become a marine biologist, micro biologist, biochemist,

biophysicist, zoologist, etc.

Job Description
Being I biologist you can make a real difference in the world. for Biologists

study all living thingshumans, animals, plantsand the environments in

which they live. They gather data and conduct tests on everything from the
tiniest microscopic cells to entire ecosystems.

Training and Educational Requirements

The minimum requirement to become a biologist is a bachelors degree in

biology or one of its subfields, such as biochemistry or zoology. However,

most research positions require at least a masters degree. Biologists in these
positions direct research and do out-of-lab tasks like site sampling at rivers.
Masters degrees are also generally required for management, inspection,
applied research, and product development jobs. Those who want a more
influential research or academic role, such as a professorship, must get a
PhD.
It takes approximately 4 years to attain a Bachelor of Science degree. A
masters degree takes 1 or 2 more years of study. If they decide to pursue
further studies and get a PhD, students usually continue in whichever subject
area they chose for their masters degree. It generally takes at least another 4
to 5 years to complete a PhD.
