Biologist

What you would do

In wildlife biology, study animals, their behavior, and how habitats and human activity affect them. [1]

Where you could work

Wildlife biologists work in offices, laboratories, and outdoor field sites, sometimes remote. [1]

Hours and flexibility

Field seasons and research projects may require travel or irregular hours. [1]

Physical and emotional demands

Field conditions, travel, careful data collection, and research uncertainty require persistence. [1]

How you could advance

Higher-level wildlife research commonly requires a master’s; leading independent research typically requires a Ph.D. [1]

These are possible directions. Promotion timing and pay depend on the role and employer.
