A Biologist in the House

Final exams just finished today. Among the all subjects, it's quite clear that my stronger subject is biology, but what careers are related with biology? But before that, what's a ''biologist''? *(ok, i might bore some people with this post, go ahead, move your cursor to click on another blog, i won't get upset, go on now, haha)

BIOLOGIST - (biology) a scientist who studies living organisms

biological science, biology - the science that studies living organisms
bacteriologist - a biologist who studies bacteria
botanist, phytologist, plant scientist - a biologist specializing in the study of plants
cytologist - a biologist who studies the structure and function of cells
ecologist - a biologist who studies the relation between organisms and their environment
geneticist - a biologist who specializes in genetics
microbiologist - a specialist in microbiology
molecular biologist - a biologist who studies the structure and activity of macromolecules essential to life
natural scientist- a biologist knowledgeable about natural history (especially botany and zoology)
neurobiologist - a specialist in neurobiology
physiologist - a biologist specializing in physiology
radiobiologist - a biologist who studies the effects of radiation on living organisms
scientist - a person with advanced knowledge of one or more sciences
sociobiologist - a biologist who studies the biological determinants of social behavior
systematist, taxonomer, taxonomist - a biologist who specializes in the classification of organisms into groups on the basis of their structure and origin and behavior
vivisectionist - a biologist who cuts open live animals for research
animal scientist, zoologist - a specialist in the branch of biology dealing with animals

Aiya, this career choosing thing is such a handful. But frankly i think i would love to be involved with
conservation and protection of endangered species kindna stuff. I wanna climb the highest mountains to find a SINGLE flower or scuba dive to the depths of the ocean to to do research on a coral or maybe even a sponge will surfice. I wanna stay up in a tree all night in the middle of the Savannah to catch a glimpse of predators hunting at night (well, hopefully i won't become the prey). Haha...

Studying biology just makes me come to the realization that there is undeniably a Creator who formed our universe. I marvel with astounishment at complexity of living organisms and all those things that the naked eye cannot behold. Come on guys, do y'all honestly think that all this came out of thin air? Even Albert Einstien said :''Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.''

Anyway, I want a career with adventure!!! Well, it's for You to decide, God. You ALWAYS know best =)
