What is the job market for marine biologists going to be like in the next 10-20 years?
I'm asking this mainly because I'm interested in a lot of potential majors. I'm a high school senior, and I have really good grades. However, I can't seem to pick out a major because I like the idea of doing so many of them. I've always had exceptional grades in Biology so I was wondering how the career opportunities would look after I graduate college. #biology #marine-biology #biotechnology

Career prospects are low. Pay is low. Science funding has been steadily decreasing for years. It didn't just start with our current President. If you're concerned about good job prospects, this isn't the field for you.
I'm sorry if that comes across as a downer, but is is the truth and something you need to be aware of before you head into the field. It is a lot of fun though! And someone has to do it.
