To be a marine biologist it requires at least a bachelor’s degree. Most of those jobs are low paying technician jobs. Although it is possible to get a job as a marine biologist with just a bachelor's degree, such jobs will be low-paying technician positions with little advancement opportunities. In high school people need to take plenty of science classes, such as, chemistry, biology, and earth science. They need to make sure take some computer science skill classes for that would help them with research. In college again they need to take plenty of science classes, along with things such as oceanography, genetics, animal physiology, as well as ecology. People also need certification such as CPR and a license to handle hazardous materials. With those different education levels, there is a pretty big pay range. The pay range is based off of various things. Salaries vary quite a lot depending on factors such as the person's level of education, the type of the size, location, and type of employer, and the person's level of work experience. With a bachelors degree people may get a low paying technician job with minimum advancement opportunities. With a masters degree, or a doctorate agree, people have a big pay jump, with plenty off advancement opportunities coming their way. The pay would also vary if someone was a field worker, (in the ocean), or if someone was stationed in a laboratory or an office, but as the scientist named Sebastian Kvist said “The oceans are among the most biodiverse of Earth's environments. Introducing students to this diversity in the field provides an opportunity to examine the evolution of animals.” If people want adventure with this job and to discover new things this is the job for them.
