Who here is a biologist?

I remember seeing someone who's profession was a biologist. I never thought about this until now. Im a freshman in high school and I've always wanted to play in the NFL my whole life. My football coach basically told me it wasn't going to happen saying that only .04% of people in the state of Illinois have a chance to go into the NFL. So I thought that I need a back up plan... I love all animals and was wondering if a biologist here can message me with some information. Thanks.

Where abouts in Il do you live?

Nearly everyone I know who works for the States Department of Natural Resources has a degree in biology or another degree in the natural sciences.

I live in Chicago.. I saw a guy on here who I personally think has the best job... He goes herping for a living. Dream job. I was just wondering what high school courses I would need to take to become one of those people with that job.. I have a 3.7 gpa and I never get in trouble. So I don't know what I would need to get a scholarship or something. Nobody in my family has ever gone to a 4 year college and I want to be the first. My mom went to medical school but I don't know if that counts. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Right on....I was born and raised a bit south of you.....Danville.....my folks still live there and I've got family in Bloomington. Best of luck with the future career...I'd say football should be your backup plan and biology plan A!

Yeah I know where that's at, thank you.

I'm a biologist by profession. There might be someone else too, but I for sure am. :)

I always said I would one day go to school to study biology since I was in elementary school. I ended up going for business management and getting a job as a manager and I wish I chose my childhood dream. Now I am back to school studying biology.
