I know what I want to do. What major do I choose?

College Majors Science Majors

<p>My ideal career is in the field of wildlife conservation. The main focus of my job should be saving species and doing research, and I would preferably live and work in a foreign country so my job should also have an aspect of international diplomacy as I work with local governments to save local species. I could see myself working for the World Wildlife Fund or a similar organization.</p>

<p>So should I double-major in Biology and Environmental Science, or in Biology and International relations, or would I need a major specifically called "Conservation Biology" or something along those lines?</p>

<p>Is this a field in which it would be worth it to get a graduate degree?</p>

<p>Thanks for any input and advice.</p>

<p>Larger organizations hire different people for the science and the public policy/diplomacy work. You are not going to be doing both. (Though it won’t hurt to get trained in both if that’s what you are interested in.)</p>

<p>What about something like Parks and Recreation Management? Some schools have programs like that. I don’t know a lot about this field but maybe that’s something you’d be interested in.</p>
