I would really like to contact a marine biologist to ask what their job involves and how did they get to where they did (what qualifications, when did they know they wanted to do that career, etc!) Does anyone know how I can do this? I would really appreciate this! I would also be interested in any scientist who observes the behaviour of marine creatures, too! Does anyone know of a site I can contact or something? Thanks :)

I am getting alot of negative responses about becoming a marine biologist. from what i'm hearing, it's competitive and there's not alot of demand for marine biologists. In my opinion there will be more job opportunities in the future because of how people killing the planet by driving cars and polluting the enviroment. If a marine biologist is a bad job would an oceanographer be a good alternative? if not what are better alternatives that are similar?
