Should i go for a career in marine biology or in archaeology?

Marine Bio has to do with biology, and probably other natural sciences. You would be working in the ocean. Archaeology has to do with human artifacts, you work in the field which could vary from desert to ice to caves to tombs, etc. It does have to do with history, but it's a lot of hands on work as well. I'd suggest trying to read more books written by archaeologists and marine biologists to get a more in-depth look into what the career is actually like. During your undergrad years you may major in one thing and realize its not for you, or you might realize its exactly what you want. Most college students change their major 1, 2, even 8 times (which is the average). Focus on what you're good at, and do some more research and see if a local natural history museum offers activities or internships for HS students.

You can pick either one, and, while you're taking your General Education requirements, also take a couple from each field, and also talk to the grad students and professors in each area. Then you can change degrees if the one you picked doesn't turn out to be your favorite. Don't forget that nothing can stop you studying anything you're interested in the rest of your life, whatever your career -- and that you may be able to combine what you love most, though maybe later in life. So, you never have to make an irrevocable decision, and you certainly don't have to make a limiting one right now.

You could take courses that cover both, then make your mind up a few years down the line. Remember both disciplines will need higher degrees too if you want to make a career. It is probably easier to move into archaeology from a marine biology major than the other way around though (I know plenty of archaeologists who started out doing something entirely different). You could also combine the two and become a marine archaeologist!

well this is a very important self choice. So I would follow your brain. Me, personally, I'd go into Marine biology. So much of the world is already discovered. Only 5% of the ocean has been discovered. Learn more.
