I study ecological systems to help protect and restore our planet.
As a grad student, half the year I'm in the field (driving airboats and playing with wading birds) every day collecting data for my research. The other 6 months, I'm in the office writing reports and compiling data.
Here's the first step for college students
Volunteer to help out on as many different research projects as you can find. Grad students are always looking for free help.
