Because of the recent upswing of interest in the crisis of global climate change, there has been a corresponding rise in the demand for qualified marine scientists and marine science technicians. Finding jobs in marine science was once something that was extremely difficult, but with the climate being what it is today it is becoming easier than ever to find these once elusive jobs. The only problem with this is that marine science is also a very competitive and popular field of work, so things can get a little tough sometimes. To distinguish yourself from the throngs of people applying for the same jobs that you are, make sure that you bring your personal history into play. Things like volunteer work or helping your instructors with their projects will go a long way when applying.
