HOW TO BECOME A HERPETOLOGIST...

twilightfade212 Dec 04, 2004 10:06 PM

I am strongly considering becoming a herpetologist. Those that are I would love to know the answers to these questions. When going to college, do you have to major in some form of biology like biology, zoology, ecology, or is there a certain one you must major in? After the bachelor degree, then what? Thanks so much.

It kinda depends what you want to do as a herpetologist, its a very broad term. If you wanna work in a zoo, A Bachelors in zoology would be sufficient, however if you wanna travel and to research a P.H.d. Helps a lot.
