How to Become a Marine Biologist (step by step) // Marine Biology Careers & Marine Research

Everything you need to know about becoming a marine biologist!

In this video I dive DEEP into what it takes to become a marine biologist step by step, as well as the many unique challenges that come along with this being a marine scientist. I want to make clear that this video specifically focuses on marine biologists in academia (professors), coming from my research on this topic and personal experience with marine research and individuals with this profession. It’s important to acknowledge that there is an immense amount of variation in the paths that people take to get to such a position, and that each person will likely experience very different challenges and benefits. So take it all with a grain of salt!

I think it's also important to mention that you don't necessarily need to have a marine biology major to become a marine researcher. Many marine biology careers, including marine biologists, can benefit greatly from a diverse background of study. Studying general biology, environmental science, or even something like urban planning can still help you pursue a marine biologist career. The most important thing, above all, is to get hands on marine research experience along the way. Anyway, I hope you find this video useful!
