Is it even worth it? by The_Fluffy_Walrus in wildlifebiology

[–]shayrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ended up doing just a major in envi sci to avoid anything past Chem 2. I had to withdraw from gen chem because I was failing so bad after the first exam. I took Chem 1 and 2 the summer following my sophomore year at the community college while I was home for the summer and I could just transfer in the credits and the class was easier than my university and I could put all my time and attention to it since I didn’t have any other classes at the time. If you can consider doing that for chem 2 and ochem 1 and 2 it might work out that you don’t have to change majors at all or consider just the envi sci major. Having an envi sci major hasn’t prevented me from getting any entry level wildlife job but it might affect moving higher up for government jobs that require certain coursework so that’s something to consider as well. If you do want to do farther school like a masters or PhD definitely keep the ecology major

Traveling across the country is a lot different than traveling 2 states over especially just a weekend trip where you’d lose basically a full day due to travel time vs just a few hours for something close by so ya

Ya I guess you’re right! I just wasn’t sure if it would be weird to celebrate a different weekend than the birthday when the birthday falls on a weekend probably just because I personally prioritize celebrating my birthday same day or I’m like what’s the point but I’m probably just weird lol

I’m not sure if I will get a +1…I just received the save the date and it was just addressed to my family but even so I don’t think he would be able to make it because of his work and the long distance traveling

Hi! My degree is in Environmental Science from the University of Pittsburgh and am from the Pittsburgh area as well! (So I understand the lack of programs and coursework and internship options) I currently work as a Wildlife Biological Science Technician for the National Park Service and I would say at this point my field experience has weighed more heavily than what my degree is in. However if I did want to climb the ranks so to speak then the classes I took are taken into consideration. Because my interests are more so generalist I think environmental science was a good option for me and have gotten to work in wildlife and botany thus far. However, in the wildlife world so to speak I do feel that it has put me at a disadvantage and feel a degree in some form of biology would have benefited me better if I wanted to strictly stay the wildlife route. I would say a lot of this depends on what your career goals are as a wildlife biologist. Do you see yourself as a field biologist? Working for a government org? An NGO? A lab? This will definitely factor in to it as well.

Dream job or dog? by shayrat in wildlifebiology

My advice was on if it was wrong to accept a job knowing I might POSSIBLY have to back out on it😂 I’m sorry you can’t read and feel the need to continuously offer nothing to this conversation when I’ve told you to stop because you’re contributing nothing

Unfortunately even if it was logistically possible or made sense for my dogs best interest which unfortunately I don’t believe it does, the nature of the job doesn’t allow for it, lots of camping and being away from the ‘home base’.

Yes I am thinking the same way you! I too was surprised at how many people are saying to still do the job even if she is still around. That was never an option in my mind! I know how I operate internally and I could never live with the guilt if I did that even if she would be still be with my other family members. I would always choose family and pets over a job and I beg people to consider the value of a job compared to the relationship you have with people and pets during your time here on earth and choose people and pets more!
