I want to be a biological oceanographer. - KajalReed - Jul 6, 2016
Hi, I'm 15, and I'm going to be a sophomore in high school for the 2016-2017 school year. I already know what college I want to go to, and I was planning on getting bachelors of science for oceanography, for masters degree, what should I get my masters in? I want to be a biological oceanographer, but not sure what I get my future masters degree in. Can you please help me and guide me, it really means a lot. And do any of you guys regret being a oceanographer? And if you could change your profession again would you do it?

Marine biology would be an obvious choice.
I very much doubt you'd regret it if you're into that. I probably would do the same thing if I had my time again.
When I could fine time between rock concerts, of course. Because obviously I'd be a kickass guitarist as well.
A quick search online line (I'm in Australia so I don't know ) would probably tell you where to study. If you're in Australia, James Cook in Queensland. You can even go on field trips out to the Great Barrier Reef.

Haha, thanks for everything! And sadly no, I'm in the United States, but can't I always do study abroad for James Cook?

You could certainly try.
Very popular study area though... because of the Reef.
