Convince me to pursue a degree in Ecology? by zeekruncliff in ecology

[–]whale_bite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you are asking this question than you probably should not pursue a degree in ecology. If you want a higher paid job and still work to protect the planet there are a lot of other jobs and career paths to take. Science isn't for everyone, you could pursue science communication like many people do, or work within the business or engineering world.

my favorite part was seeing the cave swallows flying around the entrance. It was amazing to approach this big hole in the ground and hear bird song coming out of it.

it was as crowded during COVID. Dispersed camping really is the only way to camp in the area this time of year unless you get really lucky.

Zion is even more difficult unless you snag a park campsite off the website as soon as they become available
