Hello. I am going to be a senior in high school next year, and I am about to do some serious college searching. I am good in math and science (taking Calc II and AP Pysics next year), so my parents are pushing me towards good engineering schools; however, Im not sure if this is the career for me. My true passion is reptiles. I have always been fascinated by them. Ive been breeding bearded dragons since I was 12, and I'm still working on my snake collection. My question is, is there a practical future in herpetology. What would I have to study? How is the job market?/Would I be able to comfortably support myself/family? (decent salaries?) Any advice/info is appreciated.
Thanks
Adam
