>>424134Just an FYI; my sister has a zoology degree and my fiance has a fisheries and wildlife degree, and let me tell you, it's fucking hard to find jobs actually 'in the field' in those fields, and those jobs that you can get - that are 'in the field' - pay like shit and are dominated by ivy league and redbrick assholes livin off mama' and papa's money.
My sister is now finishing her PHD in Canada (after doing a masters and spending about 6 season in Trinidad and Tobago ringing birds, also being invited to host a talk at the Evolution Conference, etc etc) but she has no clue what to do next except for going into full time teaching, and my fiance regrets her degree massively and is now looking at HR-type jobs or doing a different degree even though she was magna cum laude and dean's list.
Apparently my fiance was doing mandatory field work with her class in NC and during the trip the 'expert' leading them said to the class: "you gotta love this field for what it is cause there is no money in it; you'll make more working Bojangles". Sure enough, we went to a bojangles and the managers there make 3x as much as the average /out/ job you can get with those degrees.
