How to become a field biologist?

The primary qualifications for a career as a field biologist are a master's degree or doctorate in biology and two field seasons of experience. Some employers accept a bachelor's degree, but most prefer applicants who have advanced degrees. Fulfilling your duties and responsibilities as a field biologist requires the ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions, the ability to identify species native to the area, excellent communication skills, and the ability to travel as needed. You may work in the field for weeks or months at a time, so any history of working in such conditions can help you stand out from other applicants.
