What classes should I take if I want to be a marine veterinarian?
I live in a place where the closest ocean is several hours away so they may not offer classes that might be important for what i want to do.

Hi Lindsey
While I have not recruited specifically for Marine Veterinarian professionals, I have found that the best way to find out about any career is to go online and ask. There is information out there that will tell you what people do in certain careers, other sites that might describe a typical day in the role, jobsites with openings and job descriptions as well as salary ranges for the positions, etc. YouTube may have videos explaining the same. If you look at multiple sites, look for consistencies in what they say. This should help you feel more comfortable that the information you are reading is accurate.
I used Google. Here is what I found so far to get you started.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach back out.
