Hi all, I'm currently preparing to return to college and change majors. I was an animation major previously, and made the decision to shift career paths due to the job market. From what I've researched, I understand that a degree in biology or environmental sciences can be a hit or miss when it comes to job stability and other factors.

Long story short, I have the opportunity to major in Biology with a concentration in Aquatic Biology. The school I plan to attend offers internships with government agencies related to this, and seems to have more readily-available resources for fisheries and lake research, ie. a research facility on campus.

My question is: Would picking this sort of concentration give me more stability as I pursue my major? Is the "key" to landing a job in this field simply picking up as much work experience while you're in school as possible?…
