Hi Emily and Adam, Those are some loaded questions! I think everyone will need you to supply more information. Primarily, before we can offer guidance or advice we need to know what your career goals are. “Being a biologist/ecologist” can mean very different things in practice depending on the organization you work with.

If someone currently in the field could offer guidance to us it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have been a part of this email list for about a little less than a year now, and recieve many promising emails everyday that help me to continue my own optimism towards my future field. One thing that I do not see, however, and would really appreciate guidance on, is advice on where I should go from my current position. How might I go about getting said guidance, or if possible, can anyone reading this provide any helpful insight? Thank you very much! Adam T Schultz
