[@fat_whales.4591]

This is actually so interesting and educational yet nobodies watching it

[@wavesbyninacola9165]

Thank you very much! That means a lot

[@mewmewcat6920]

I like the way they talked about the crisis of extinction of animals plus their aquarium, 😄

[@melissatrader8528]

Whoever's narrating this you did a fantastic job

[@haleyrenee3198]

i need more from this channel, i love love

[@kelseykasten4338]

I'm a freshmen in high school and rn i have to decide what im doing and going to be studying, I'm really thinking about doing nature Environmental science, I would love to do what ur doing and maybe someday be a marine biologist

[@kelseykasten4338]

UHH U WORK WITH PENGUINS?!?! SIGN ME UP.

[@rideoutsean]

@@kelseykasten4338 hahaha Marine biology is awesome to get into, i take it as an elective (I go to a voc school) and it is so much fun, hope your decision is going smoothly

[@kirstycampbell8685]

What qualifications did you need?

[@genderfluidbean2127]

Im not sure about marine life, but i am currently doing research to become a zookeeper, and for that you need a bachelors degree in zoology along with something about wildlife behavior. Im still learning but hopefully something like this helped. Maybe for marine life, you need to know marine biology like i have to know zoology or something like that

[@Thecircustapes]

What kind of filter system do you guys use on those huge tanks? Follow up question, how long does it take for y'all to cycle tanks that big?

[@masonsatko8926]

Hey Nina!! I’m a freshman at high school and I’m looking to major in biology going into college! What classes do you recommend I take? I’m currently in Biology and will most likely be taking AP biology next year. Any recommendations other classes I should take?

[@musicpawns]

Enviornmental science, chemistry, physics, any science classes because youll probably have to take it in college!

[@wavesbyninacola9165]

Hi! I recommend biology, environmental science, marine biology (if your school offers it), chemistry, physics and mathematics! :)

[@FluuJFlug]

I am currently going into a two year fisheries program at my community colloge for a degree in fisheries and technologies. I plan on going to university later when I come into stable money. I was wondering what my chances would be getting into working at an aquarium after the Fisheries program?

[@louv4437]

Great channel idea!

[@lkim393]

Hey, I'm a freshman majoring in marine biology. I just saw your day in the life video as a marine bio undergrad! Is a job at an aquarium customary for marine bio undergrads? Do you have your BS in marine bio yet? Or is this a summer job/temporary job until you get a grad degree? I would really like to know if this was your goal for your degree, or if you plan to do more research as a grad student. I know the marine bio field is pretty competitive (according to my high school astrobio teacher). I currently don't exactly have a clear vision of what I want to do after earning a grad degree so I'd really appreciate your advice.

[@absolutesquash]

ive heard that the field can be really competitive too. i think being willing to travel, a scuba certification, and being willing to work in cold water or really stinky places opens up some jobs that others wont want as much. i had a short internship in a sea turtle hospital, and it was humid and smelled like fish and turtle poop. it was one of the most fun experiences ive ever had though! i plan on either working on some kind of research project (which will require travel) or being an aquatic vet (which requires vet school). its difficult to find jobs without making sacrifices, but its what i love so im willing to make them. (sorry if this sounds disorganized, i have adhd and i kinda suck at writing coherently lmaoo)

[@kostakik1746]

I visited the aquarium yesterday to visit my adopted penguin dr. Bunsen

[@joelynwalley1710]

Omg my name is Linnea and the sloths type is a Linneaus and my last name is Wally

[@reha3063]

That’s so cool actually!

[@Melody23195]

this must mean your fast as fuck in water and will abandon your children if they fall out of your tree :)

[@msixx9710]

We need a video on how to get into working at a aquarium, & how you did it ?

[@slinky3123]

Hello! I’m currently a 12 year old kid but for a while now I’ve found interest in marine life. If I were to be a scuba diver where they rescue animals, what job will I be? Also if I were to be an employee at a zoo or Aquarium, how would I apply? Would I apply to be a marine biologist, aquatic biologist or what? Also is it possible to work both at a zoo AND aquarium, like for 3 days you work at a zoo, the other 3 you work at an aquarium THEN you get a day off

[@heykyu5892]

What’s the reason behind using the yellow frisbee?

[@MarioOrta]

This is awesome 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

[@wavesbyninacola9165]

Mario Orta 💛💛💛

[@JonathanSantiago-l6h]

What do I have to study to do this job?

[@abbycorin]

What kind of college classes do u have to take

[@jenb1412]

I'm not an expert, but as far as I have seen the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree in a biology, animal science, or marine science degree. I would reach out to the specific place that you want to work/check their careers site and see what they look for in the position you want to apply to. For example: google "San Diego Zoo career requirements."

[@wavesbyninacola9165]

To be an employee at Jenkinson's Aquarium you have to be at least 16 years old. Employees range from high school students to college graduates with degrees in Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Marine Biology or Marine Affairs typically!

[@nicholasloibl5621]

Does the aquarium need any scuba divers

[@oliviai.427]

This is awesome thanks Nina! I really want to be like you when I turn your age :3

[@wavesbyninacola9165]

[@aprilmapp3140]

[@LampLight199]

I would love to work in the aquarium ❤

[@loveria6281]

Did you work at the aquarium whilst going to college ?

[@DL-wk6vq]

My dream job 😍 whem i grow up imma be an aquarist

[@darkeyeballs]

What i want to know is why are you holding on to these in the first place??? Feed them and then let them go.

[@jeremoralorel]

Yall talking about the straight penguins, what about the gay penguins 😳 (you're epic if you get the reference)

[@bibarel4665]

I want to work with animals, but I dont wanna see their wee wees

[@theblindfishkeeper]

What a great video! Thank you for the sub. I hope that what you’ve seen from my fish room videos shows my absolutely ridiculous passion for my fish! Do you also keep fish in your personal life even though you work in a public aquarium for a living? And, what kind of training do you have? Your job sounds like a dream job to me!😉🤘🏻🐠🦯
