I was wondering what degree I should go into at University. I fancy getting a job in a career involving plants mostly but a ranger, zoo keeper, ecologist etc would be acceptable. I have been told by most Uni conventioners that a degree in botany itself is too specialised. I am interested in doing a broad geography degree as I find it very interesting. I plan to go to a University close to home (Lancaster Uni most likely) because of the accomodation costs and the fact that I like family life

Is this the right way to go? I have been told geography would be a good subject because of the climate change / green religion nowadays.
Thanks
