<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I received my appointment to the USCGA yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited, but I'm a little anxious about what I could possibly doing in the Coast Guard. What is the Marine/Environmental Science major like? From what I can tell this is the closest thing available to a biology major. After graduation, are there marine biology or ecological jobs available? I think someone told me that some things along those lines are available in the Prevention department? Also, what are the chances of being able to go to grad school for a degree in a biology- or ecology-related field? </p>
<p>Thanks a bunch,
Andy Chen</p>
