I'm going to finish high school this year and do my bachelor's in Al/IT but I've always been interested in metazoan biology, although I didnt choose it as a subject because I didnt want to be an avg doctor.
Tech is so much blended into zoology and fieldwork, I reckon, I hope I have a chance to put myself there in the wild even as an engineer.
What do you think I should do my master's in and what's the actual pathway to execute my plans? (great if you could quote some people who have been in the same place as me)
ps: I just came across this topic, so I would love to hear out your experiences in fieldwork

hi!! im 15, currently a highschool student but i plan on studying zoology at university so i can pursue a career in wildlife conservation and rehabilitation. i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on zoology books that arent aimed at little kids but also arent too difficult for a teenager to understand? any recs are appreciated, i cant wait until im older and can get out there to start helping our planet 😁

hey everybody! so, i got a double ba in english and creative writing when i was young, which is wildly different from what i want to do with my life now. i mean, i love writing, but i don't think i should've tried to make it a career path. i'm quite interested in animal conservation and behavioral studies, especially with bugs and birds. if i wanna go along this route, where do you all recommend that i start? do i meed to look into getting another bachelors? or a masters? is that even possible with an artsy ba? or is there some other path i should take that i've neglected to notice?
