Ecology

[cjrob8]

Hi,

I'm looking to get my masters in ecology and have been looking at EEB programs. I have a broad idea about what kind of jobs are in the field, but am hoping to have more specific knowledge about the kinds of jobs that would be available with a degree in ecology. I'm open to working in both the public and the sectors.

Thanks for your help!

Depends on what type of ecology. What sub-specialty are you interested in? Here in Iowa ecologists/biologists work in fisheries, wildlife, water quality, etc... Others work as teachers/instructors and others for consulting companies.

IMHO you should have a REAL good idea of what you want to accomplish with your M.S. before you take out any loans to go to grad school. i.e. are you looking for a career shift/change or just to expand your current skill set within the field?
