I'm 24 years old and I want to study marine biology all my life, but my parent won't let me. Just want me to stick being a lousy painter 'cause of my conditions. I just want to do something different and new, something I want to do and love to do before I die.

I want to be a marine biologist so bad, but my selfish parents don't want me to one.

Its my dream to be a marine biologist. But as usual, my parents are just plain selfish.

Hello Mel! I know this video is like 5 years old at this point, but I would like some advice. I am 23, and I am currently self studying to become a marine biologist, "specializing in poisonous and venomous anything". The reason why I am self studying is because I cannot afford to go to college even to get my jen-eds done. Would you happen to have any advice as to how I can afford to go to college properly with a full-time job? Do you happen to have any college recommendations?

School failed me,, see,, im in Canada and was stuck in a very abusive class for troubled kid,, somewhere i was not destined to be because im just really emotive,, (actually in the autism spectrum),, and im really really obsessed on Nudibranch but i also know a lot about the different Echinoderm and Cnidaria and other Gastropod,, i even know some about Arthropod (hate spiders and yes i know about the Pycnogonida but i like them) but i really dont know how to go back in school,,, its really draining for me and stressful,, and everytime i tried to go back they were kinda,,, not really accepting of my multiple problems,, plus the fact that i finished my primary school and thats all (21 years old),,, actually everything i learned was from TV and internet research,,, School really failed me,,, i live in Lanaudiere and the closest place where i could really learn Marine Biology is in Montreal or Quebec,, i cant live all by myself,,, i cant even cook and its impossible to get an appartement in big city ! i feel really stuck,,, i took so much time finding what i wanted to do and end up not knowing where to go,,, or how to go

I am coincidentally in the same position you were in! I’m in Ontario and planning to go to The Memorial University of Newfoundland. I’m in Grade 12 and taking a Grade 13 to get a few more credits. But I’m not quite too sure if I need to take both Calculus and Advanced Functions. Do you know what courses are the mandatory ones?

I'm really looking forward to seeing your other playlists about marine biology, because I really enjoy the clearer explanation you give to your viewers. Also, when you spoke about eco-friendly stuff, I decided to get eco-friendly glasses sense I lost my other pair 2 weeks ago, so hopefully they come in quicker lol.

So, I've asked my mom if I could volunteer, and she said yes but it'd be on Sunday because she has work so I've asked a Aquarium near me if I could, hopefully they respond soon!

Thank You! I just ordered all of those books. I'm so excited to read these, I'll keep you posted as I go through the series and read the books when they get here!

Hey, I loved the video I have always wanted to become a Marine Biologist sense I was young and now I'm 16 and I i'm doing the venn diagram(hope it goes well lol), but do you know if there's any books on these type of topics? like learning more about like different fields and stuff, I'm a huge reader and I watch videos alot, im both a reading learner and video learner and I think it would help to know what books could also go with these parts so I'm ready for the day I do become one, I don't plan on giving up I will be the first one to be a Marine Biologist in my whole family! So please if you do know some books I can read when I'm not busy that would be helpful thank you!

Hello, im a 15 year old student, I've found myself very passionate about sea animals and deep sea stuff... And the venn diagram part really helped me understand how my own interest can help apply in this field!

i just watched the whole series thank you for this and it really helped

Thank you for sharing your passion about the octopus! Seeing the absolute joy and thrill on your face, describing all of these fun facts makes it obvious that you are following your passion as a marine biologist. Keep sharing your passion, please, especially with children who share your absolute delight and excitement and enthusiasm for learning. I still feel the same way even though I’m in my 60s! Our world out of nature is absolutely endlessly 7:37 fascinating.❤

Please please make more of this.

Hi Mel !! hope your ok ! I just wanted to let you know after watching your videos i applied to do marine biology as a mature student (i live in uk) and i got offered a place !! Thank you for your inspiration !! Now i just got to get the funding sorted !!

Calamari is squid not octopus, just sayin'

Thank you for the series! I have a bachelors of science in biology and a doctorate in veterinary medicine and naturally have piqued an interest in more schooling in the form of marine biology. I'm an advanced certified scuba diver and have had a special interest in coral for many years and the idea of aiding in research at some point excites me! Being 30 years old and having a full time hospital career at the moment, I'm definitely finding it difficult to figure out where to start. Are there any virtual introduction marine courses you would recommend for someone interested as an adult learner in seeing if this is a field they have interest in pursuing?

I just turned 20 and I honestly don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I've always wanted to become a marine biologist. Always been obsessed with deep sea creatures and whales and orcas. I'm just worried I won't be able to afford schooling since I don't make much money. But I'll work towards it!!!

Awesome video! I didn’t realize they also had a 5 arm pattern like starfish and sand dollars; all those spines really obscure that fact How do they grow their shells and what material is it made from (I think it’s calcium carbonate? Is it the same material as oyster shells, or maybe significantly different) specifically, do they build up their shells from calcium dioxide? And let’s say that there are millions of zombie urchins on the sea floor… could their shells be crushed into something useful?

hi im 13 and i REALLY want to be a marine biologist and my ven diagram is research and like helping animals and one little thing im gonna throw there is art i just wanna say that which type of marine biology would i fit into before i watch the next part?

Could softball be in the vendiagrame

What about Marine Biologist documentary film makers or interview style like a documentary? History & Education?

I appreciate the movie - very cool! The guy spends OVER A YEAR intermingling... I hope other people don't start trying to "be friends" with an octopus. The damage we humans can do! Please, for people thinking about attempting a meeting, just watch the movie and leave them alone (be satisfied). 🥴

Sooo Were seein p0rn but its barnacle doin it 😂

"its his penis arm". Lol crude but def gets the point across.

This great! Can’t wait to show my grandson!! 😊

Yes , I have a daughter and we have been going to zoos and aquariums and beaches since she was born and she wants to be a marine biologist . So we went to clearwater aquarium she was told to volunteer alot. ( start her resume with volunteering due to her not being old enough to work ) she is so excited about she also is going to do a scuba camp this summer . I love this for her . I'm a proud mom . I too love the ocean and animals. I even have her do beach cleanups

Hello, 15 year old here. I've recently had a really big interest in marine biology. Your video helped me so much on what I want to do. Especially when you said video games can help as well lol.

Hola love you description of the movie and the octopus. I swim 6am in that area. Is life experience best for me 10 to 13 D.

Who this is exactly what I needed! I’m bit older… I’m 28 years and I have done already three studies and been teaching music and dancing for the last 5 years, but I feel like I need to learn new skills and switch from job. It really helped hearing that I could use my teaching skills within the marine and maybe even my creative side 🤗

I have a question. I am a medical student but I am also interested in Marine biology. How can I do that? Should I become a double major student or should I wait until I graduate from med school? Any advice?

is it stabilized? Is it empty inside? Lovely!

Brilliant mind

I want to I live in the Caribbean Belize

Hello! I'm currently a highschool student and ive been stressed out about what to do as a career. I absolutely adore the ocean, especially when it comes to mammals! My favorite marine mammals are seals and I love them so much!! One issue though, I dont know how to swim, so to become a marine biologist, do i need to know how to swim?

Oque o filme me trás é a incrível força do amor ,suplantando os instintos e a mente raciona,l e se pensar bastante sobre isto só pode haver um Deus que habita em todo ser vivo e que este Deus que esta em nós supera com força incomparavel nosso aspecto instintivo e racional assim com nos surpreende no comportamento de muitos indivíduos das diversas espécies de animais.

If the Octapus dies I can't watch it.

And I thought I had the longest penis in the world.

Is it possible to incorperate music into marine biology?

Spoiler alert, all animals are sentient beings with some level of intelligence which is why everyone should be vegan. No moral difference between eating an octopus, a dog, cat, pig, goat etc.

Is there a felid for art and marine biology

Hey, don't do that to me talking about the movie and getting emotional and touching like that... Your eyes and voice makes my cry all over again hahahahahahaha. Best double feature, the documentary and your video. Thank you so so much. Hugs from Brazil.

Wow so many times.

You just saying “you can do this” means the world! Thank you for saying that.

I found an empty bag me on the beach a long time ago. It looked so cool!

My parents talked me out of it because they were controlling and didn’t want me to move out of the house. They also told me that if I moved out and went out of state to college that I was on my own and they weren’t gonna pay for anything. So I was terrified at 18 years old from a very small town with zero resources for college, except for our local community college. But now that I’m 36 it’s time.

If you high school kids read this, do it! I wanted to be a marine biologost since 3rs grade and never did it because I thought the pay was garbage. Now i am finally at a maturity level where I realize the pay is fine and its about doing what you love. So trust me, just go do it and it will lead you to where you need to be.
