I am looking for a bit of advice.
I graduated this year with a BSc in Biology and have always had an interest in conservation/wildlife. I understand that jobs are in short supply at the moment. I am looking into doing a masters next year in biodiversity & conservation but do not know if this will help to secure a career in the environmental sector. Also, I don't know whether to continue down this route as I don't know whether it would be better doing teaching or something else. I know its in my heart to do conservation/ecology but I am finding it really difficult to even find any relevant jobs. Any jobs require 2/3 years post-qualification experience. I am going to do some volunteering this year and was planning on starting the masters next year. Would this be the best way to do it? Any advice would be very helpful!! :confused: ]]> Wildlife and Environment Jobs roxy123 http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/wildlife-and-environment-jobs/62066-what-do.html
