Im 13 and i really want to become a vet or marine biologist?

great choices! to prepare yourself, you gotta start doing your homework every single day, and make a habit of getting straight A's (preferably nothing below a ninety), and taking school seriously (but not *too* serious). Those are popular (competitive) fields, but if you're thinking about it at 13, then you can do it!

You rock! Find somewhere that will let you volunteer, such as a national park, animal shelter, or zoo. Some of those place will have age requirements, which stinks, but you'll get there eventually. When I was in 8th grade, I raised money for a wildlife refuge by washing cars/mowing lawns/dog walking. That got me a behind-the-scenes tour of the area! Don't be afraid to ask questions, just like you're doing. If you find an article in a magazine that you liked, feel free to e-mail the author of it and ask questions. When you take your high school classes, try to take advanced classes that could possibly count towards your college credits. Try to focus on the sciences, if you can. It's also not too early to start looking at colleges. Just go online, see what you can find. www.fastweb.com is how I found mine. Maybe your parents will take a day-trip to one of them, so you can walk around the campus and get a feel for it. Also, for the future, internships are key!! I got one in Maine taking care of baby seals, which is how I got the job I have now. Dream big!!! It'll be alot of work to get where you want to go, but the rewards of having a job you love are so worth it!

Volunteer at your local animal shelter. Read up on a lot about different kinds of animals. Study later on, especially in biology, math, and most sciences. Get a tutor or put a lot of effort if you need help in these areas. You can also volunteer for your local humane society. Learn or read about dog, or cat behavior because this will come later on if you do become a vet. Lots of hard work and dedication in high school through your 8-10 years of college will be involved in this! I want to become a vet, or conservationist/zoologist...

you can start by voulenteering at local shelters (i myself work with animals) since you're so younge you can't do much ( i know it sucks I was very impatient waiting when I was your age). But once you get into highschool take the higher forms of biology, take biotwechnology if your highschool has it ad any tye of life science like that. You don't need a Physical Science so really dont bother taking that class unless it's required. You should also try dual enrollment in a college your junior/senior years of highschool. At mine I did college Bio fourth period instead of having a 4th period at the highschool. look more into these jobs though. a lot of people just want to jump into things like marine iology but dont realize that it's not just hey ufn with the fishes! it's a lot of hard work and there's a lot of math and other things involved. if you are interest mainly on the focus of the animals themselves you're better off being a vet or zoo keeper or zoologist or Exotic Animal Trainer and Manager. Take my advise and take the next few years of your life to look into it more. you have the internet use your srouces. type in random things, look around, you'll fid the rihgt path. who knows, maybe marine biology is that path. maybe not.

You can help out at local clinics and also try your hardest to study up on your animal knowledge. Then you will have some brains to take with you to college. I'm fourteen and want to become zoologist.

Read everything you can get your hands on about your interests. and be prepared to be called a nerd frequently. To succeed in science, you must get to where you are not bothered by insults from people who are jealous of your intelligence and dedication. Then as you advance in school, concentrate on math skills, chemistry, physics, and biology. Major in biology unless there is a pre-veterinary program you want to get into. Concentrate on field work and be ready to get your hands grubby and icky. And if you decide on marine biology, also learn about ships and the sea. Attend a Power Squadron class and get to be really good with boats. And get your SCUBA diving certificates up through Divemaster. And golly, whiz-bang! Have fun!

I'd suggest volunteering but I'm not sure they'd let you, at least by yourself. You might be able to get a parent or someone else who's an adult to go with you. Anyway, check at local animal shelters and see if they need some help (they usually do). When you're older you might want to try to get a job at a local zoo or, if you happen to have one near by, an aquarium. When you apply, let them know that you want the experience because you plan to be a vet or marine biologist (whichever you decide on, if you have at that point). Both places, the animal shelter or zoo/aquarium, will give you valuable experience in dealing with animals. Plus, it'll look good on your application when trying to get into vet school, should you decide to do that, especially if you start now. The person who accepts or denies applications will probably be quite impressed that you started your education (by volunteering) at 13. Other than volunteering, do good in school. Veterinary programs are extremely competitive and the better your grades the better your chances of getting in. It's only slightly less important if you decide to be a marine biologist instead; you'll still need good grades. Both will require a very good understanding of biology in general so make sure you read everything you can on the subject and do well in your biology classes. You'll also need math, particularly if you're a vet. Biologists often use statistics which, of course, is a branch of mathematics, so you'll still need to have a good understanding of math. Good luck!

for H.S.? take more Science Classes, preferably A.P.'s ie. Biology Environmental Science Chemistry Physics Also, volunteering is important (not necessarily, u can be an intern) Pet Shelters work at Petsmart* Go do all required subjects to graduate, and fill the extra spaces with science courses. Keep in mind thet vet is a very competitive field. The better your resume the more likely you'll succeed and enjoy your career

Lol! I wanna be exact same things and close age by few months! If you have a local marine lab you can look for workshops and stuff in your age group, if nothing like this is near you then look stuff up on internet, maybe you could even subscribe to an internet newsletter if you live near a beach find different creatures and then identify them and there purpose. For the vet thing if you have any pets whenever something is up you can look it up and see whats wrong find out different cures and when you take to vet ask questions(if they are patient enough). Hope this helps!
