Hello all. I am a newbie here and to the saltwater world! I am an electrical operator for a natural gas fired power company. I get to sit and watch screens for 12 hours a day. Great money! a little boring at times though. I always say do what you like and the good stuff will follow!

I think that what everyone is trying to tell you is find somthing you want to do because you will be stuck with that profession for 30 some years. and to tell you the truth the money most likey won't come right away. In SD they have a huge calling for marine bilogy so do some research. When ever i see the marine bilogists it doesn't look like they are starving. Scrips is our major institute for marine biology. check them out they have a website. maybe you can start by doing an internship with them and go from there. Don't give up a passion for any amount of money, unless it is to be a street walker then maybe having money and being one of those is not in the cards as possible.

(But that is a subject for a whole other thread on outsourcing of IT jobs to someone making $40 a week)
The best advise to give you is make sure you are constantly learning and not getting a job and expecting it to always be there. There is no such thing as having one job for life anymore unless you are running your own successfull business.
Also at 13 I think you are far to young to decide - but it is always good to start thinking - you will change your mind about a million times. At 13 I was planning on being a cartoonist, then a physcologist then a ... well you get the point
umm well plumbers and suck never get outsource but people do hire other who work hard and for cheap ( like mkexicans) so it's almost the same thing.. dont get me wrong.. dont hate he mexicans or the outsourced workers.. they are just workers that are willing to give out more then they take in.. get mad at the people who hire/outsource the work..

Hey jr...you want to make some good money in marine biology....get a job with one of the big oil companies that has rigs in the gulf. They use marine biologists to research and ensure that they are in harmony with the ecosystem. They get paid a ton.
Yep, workin on a CAT in Utah. I get pretty greasy sometimes but I have heard cokers are worse. Still I love operating.

Definately make sure you go for what you want to be. If you don't you will get stuck with what you don't want to be and had to settle with.
Sometimes, that is a very bad thing. I am a Veterinary receptionist. Believe me, I love the kind of work. Especially that I can be around animals. I just can't stand the people I work with. But, I have to settle. I have a family after all. I can't afford to lose the job I have and start over. So I deal and go on. Don't be this way. Find your career and go for it. Choose who you want to be and who you will be around.
