that you need a Ph.D. for teaching at the postsecondary level and for most
research jobs. You would at least need a bachelor’s degree for entry level

Reflection: Yes I would love to be a marine biologist
because I really love water, I like going to the beach, I love to swim, and I’m
very interested in the ocean and all the underwater sea creatures. I don’t know
why but marine biology just interests me so much, and I really want to be a marine
biologist.
