When I was a kid, I loved to roam the fields, woods, creeks, and even my backyard, catching salamanders and crayfish and looking at plants and birds. In high school, I was lucky to have some great biology teachers who told me that I might actually be able to make a living doing these things. Now I think I have the best job in the world because I get to work with cool creatures every day, learn about how they live, and maybe even help to protect them.
Another great part of my job is working with other people who love animals and plants. People can be so generous and helpful when they’re doing something they love. That tells me they must be pretty happy, and I know that being a biologist certainly makes me happy.
