hi all, im not sure if this is the place to ask, but i was wondering what majoring in marine biology would be like. im still struggling to pick which major i would like. I know i could google these, and i have, its just that i'd really like to hear real life experiences because every time i google these it seems like people give a very positive perspective. so if anyone could answer my questions, i would really appreciate it.
- why did you major in marine biology?
- what did you learn in university? (what subjects, like biology, chemistry, math, etc.)
- is there anything you had to learn that you didnt expect or isnt directly related to marine biology? (like i heard you had to learn computer sciene and data science for analytics?)
- what kind of jobs/career could you pursue with this degre/what are you currently working as
thank you in advance everyone, if anyone has any additional advice that would be great too

Ocean critters are cool and struggling for what I love seemed like more fun then being another cog in the soul crushing machine known as capitalism.
Introductory chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, calculus I and II, Physics, genetics, zoology, botany, cell biology, molecular biology, ecology, marine biology, invertebrate zoology, ichthyology, marine botany, oceanography, chemical oceanography, and more.
I had to take plenty of electives I didn't want to take but computer science and data analysis is crucial for modern biology.
