Science is a great and rewarding career.
Oceanography is an exciting field because it combines intellectual challenges with physical adventures. Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network Marine Science Careers has been compiled by Sea Grant as a comprehensive guide to the possibilities and probabilities in this field for today and the years to come. It is intended for high school students, but it will also be of interest to middle school students, college undergraduates and the parents, teachers and guidance counselors who will be helping them plan their futures. This career guide contains question and answer profiles and photos of 38 marine scientists and other professionals from around the country. The scientists talk about what they do, what they like and dislike about their careers, what they see for the future, and much more.
