What to do with an ecology degree?

Answer by  tamkees (3203)

Ecologists have the same career opportunities as other scientists -- research or academia. You may also specialize in one area, such as conservation, habitats, or wildlife population tracking.

If your degree in ecology is only at the bachelor's level, then I suggest continuing with school to at least a master's level in order for you to get a good job. Some people become teachers, conservationists, researchers, etc. If you want to enter academia, you will need a doctorate.

You can work for a county parks department, work in agriculture, a greenhouse, or in landscaping. If your degree is more advanced you can do research on plants and the changes caused by global warming.
