I actually just graduated in May with a degree in Wildlife Sciences, and I am now enrolled in a master's program for it (albeit studying pheasant and quail, not herps). I would highly suggest it as a major if you are interested in wildlife and the outdoors. A word of caution, many of the better paying jobs are going to require a master's, or a lot of time spent doing scut work. If you want to look at the type of positions available I would look at the Texas A&M job board for an idea of what all is out there. While herps are not traditionally a major part of a wildlife curriculum, they are becoming more important and a knowledge of them can be a big plus. There is usually about one Wildlife program per state. Good luck out there.

oh.... WAR EAGLE!
