Jobs surrounding a Wildlife Biology degree in Alaska?

[outspoken always :P]

Hi.

I've been looking at attending college in Alaska for several reasons, mainly because I think wildlife biology would be amazing to study up there. I was wondering though, what careers and jobs can I get with a degree in Wildife Biology? Particularly in Alaska?

Well with a wildlife degree, you could get and state or federal job working as a park ranger, or at a wildlife facility. If you want to get specific and study mammalogy, or ornithology, or something on those lines and do more of field research, then you would need to go for your masters. But you could work on your masters, with a lower fed or state job to start you off.

Wildlife biologist/zoologist, obviously. Also park ranger or something like that. But, biology is a huge field, you could be a researcher of a single species, a single population even, or many species. You could work in the field, in a lab, at a rehabilitation center, at a zoo, as a teacher...

It'd be best to get a Master's if you want to work as a wildlife biologist, though
