My 16 yr old is torn between heading down a geological engineer path or an ecology path. What does the average ecologist do all day at work? Not the 5% top performer that lands the super rare coolest job. Any perspectives or suggestions welcome - He is outside as much as possible, loves chemistry, has done DNR camps through local university (loved them), and does animal husbandry through 4-H. They are offering a GIS class through his school but he said it looks a little boring.
