Why is biology such a meme degree on this board, what are some realistic job prospects for a marine bio major?

Will having a career that I enjoy not outweigh the potential income from studying law or accounting?

Give me your opinions

I had a dream when I was in 4th grade that I told a teacher I wanted to be a marine biologist, and then I did, and I spent a day going around the world in a submarine and after that got bored and realized I'd have to spend my entire life going around in a submarine being bored and I made a huge mistake

>marine biologist
You're a waterologist, got it.

>Why is biology such a meme degree on this board
/sci/lets fell for the soft major meme thinking everything is ecology. In truth most of them are just furious we get to do whatever for the most part and still get paid. You marinebros can deep dive as much as you want in a nice beach somewhere and pull out 2-3 years worth of papers with a few weeks of diving. Same shit with archeologists. Unless you're a glorified labtech, being a biofag is the best thing ever. If I was prettier I would've gone for marine biology or botany and have sex with my peers out on fieldwork.

>what are some realistic job prospects for a marine bio major?
Academia or some environmentalist NGO or something.

>Will having a career that I enjoy not outweigh the potential income from studying law or accounting?
It will and it does. Lawfags are workaholics who drink themselves to death because they do their job solely for the money. Go out at sea, get eating by a shark.

Girls get into Marine Biology in huge numbers. The US probably graduates 20x or more the number of marine biologist than there are jobs for. Most end up as school teachers. I suspect they go for Marine Biology because it's at the intersection of "caring" for animals and being seen as a STEM degree but far easier than getting a veterinary degree.
If you have a passion for marine biology, as long as you're realistic about the job prospects and that the field is oversupplied with labor, go for it. You will never have more than a middle class lifestyle (at best) but if you love the work, that's worth a lot.

Just remember that the company that employs you is probably full of sociopaths at the top, and they care about their bottom line rather than the animals/plants/whatever you work with, or especially you since you're a dime a dozen.

You are a Marine Biologist... You go on a boat for 8 months and get paid to look at water or animals. These kinda jobs aren't that hard to find.
