We tend to be short-sighted when choosing a career. Careers evolve and what you are doing as a entry-level professional is not necessarily what you will be doing ten or twenty years down the road. Don't turn to entomology to get rich. While salaries in the biological sciences will provide you with a decent standard of living, traditionally, entomologists choose the career for the passion, not to end up millionaires. If you are you not currently enrolled in science and math courses in high school or college, enroll in these courses.
Entomology requires an understanding of math and science.
You must have the ability to access a problem by evaluating all of the parts and the whole simultaneously before arriving at a conclusion. I would also tell them entomology is one of the most rewarding careers in the natural science areas. 9301 Annapolis Road, Lanham, MD 20706-3115 tel.
