Wow, is this thread making me breathe a sigh of relief or what?
I'm a wildlife biologist (or I used to be). When I was starting, I almost went to school in Alaska for MB, but my dad talked me out of it. Instead I stayed around here and just did wildlife biology. So now I know all kinds of fun stuff, like what animal every track, poop and hair (or feather) belongs to! Very glamorous!
When I was considering MB, I envisioned humpback whales, orcas and dolphins, but IMO that's the tip of iceberg. Just like in wildlife biology, you can put your emphasis on anything--my specialty is population dynamics and ecology. Sounds interesting, right? Now I major in tee-ball and diaper changing.
