I’m currently an environmental science major and I am really fascinated by the ocean and ocean life, conserving marine animals, etc. I would love to be a marine biologist, but my school doesn’t offer that as a major. There are classes like wetland ecology, marine ecology, conservation biology, stream ecology, but those are about it.

I do have a faculty adviser that I could go see, however, she is on sabbatical right now and there is someone taking her place, but I’ve heard he is awful and is not experienced in the sciences at all. He simply is an adviser. I also have a general adviser, but he answers questions more about what classes I need to graduate, helps plan out my classes until graduation and that’s about it. I guess I could go see him, but what do you think?
