Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself real quick. When I have some time I'll start a nice long thread about the trials and tribulations of a hamsandwich in the job market. For now, suffice to say I have a BS in Marine Bio and there's not a lot of opportunities in that field.

Anyway, this forum looks great, with a wealth of knowledge and resources to check out. Thanks in advance for any advice I might get. Wink

First of all, welcome!

Second, I guess I always thought marine biology was a hot career so I was surprised to read your post and see that you are having trouble finding a job.

This is something listed on the site, and I don't know if it will provide anything useful to you but it is worth looking at:

Thanks Lexa

I'll check that out.

There is a pretty healthy biotech industry in my area (mass) but I'm sort of holding out for something to do with fish/aquaculture. To be honest I should probably take the first job I can get, but I'm being stubborn. Also I did that a few years ago and it didn't get me anywhere.

I'll go into more detail in another thread and link it here. Smile

edit- here yo go
