I was all set thinking I knew what path I wanted to follow till I saw this is available! http://www.csupomona.edu/~crs/graduate.html I changed my degree from Conservation Fisheries and Wildlife to Evolution, Ecology, and Biodiversity but this looks even better.
Dude, that does look like a good field. And I'm sure it will become more and more relevant and necessary in the future.

Global Warming is going to create a huge need for both fields.
it's hard to find something that matches your interests exactly... if this is it then go for it! and good luck

I like the emphasis they place on "conduct research and manage projects that have practical outcomes". Definitely consider the change - you don't want to look back later and wish you had gone for it.
Thank you guys. I'm looking into the option and weighing which classes I would have to switch over to.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ Jan 23 2007, 11:35 PM) [snapback]379940[/snapback]</div> Another option might be a minor or a double major. More work, but makes you that much more versatile in the job market.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TimBikes @ Jan 24 2007, 12:00 PM) [snapback]380222[/snapback]</div> I actually thought about that as well. They offer a minor in Regenerative Studies and I think that it would be a perfect compliment to my current degree path. Thank you for the tip.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ Jan 24 2007, 06:36 PM) [snapback]380414[/snapback]</div> What's regenerative studies? Sounds sorta Frankensteinish!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TimBikes @ Jan 24 2007, 06:48 PM) [snapback]380420[/snapback]</div> LOL Here is a copy paste of the program
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ Jan 24 2007, 06:51 PM) [snapback]380423[/snapback]</div> Ah - now I get it. Cool. I think this will be a growth industry and as such should position you well for the job market. Good luck!
