Hello,
I'm a second-year undergrad at the University of Chicago, presently
pursuing a degree in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. As of last night,
I've decided that a childhood dream that I've had to work at sea
could be real. So, I'm looking at studying oceanography and
marine biology. (Neither of which are offered at Chicago.)
So, should I continue on here and get a degree and then pursue
marine bio. in graduate school? Or should I transfer to some other
place and begin a program right away? If so, do you have any
recommendations?
I'm really confused right now, so any E-mailed advice from
more experienced people would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
David Stuve

U of Chicago has many excellent programs, but if you know that you want to pursue a course of study not offered there, then I suggest you transfer immediately. Of course, if you are interested in the biochemistry or molecular biology of marine organisms, it might not be a bad idea to stay put and then do grad work in marine biology. If you don't forsee using your present major, then start going after you really want elsewhere. -- dn/dx Dan D diaz@aecom.yu.edu Dept.
