Hello,My name is guy I am currently in high school learning biology as my "major"(not sure how to call it ) subject as well as ecology, I've been always interested in biology but recently I got stuck thinking what do I want to do in biology.Biology is like a tree that has many branches and I am kinda lost. The current things I am the most interested about in Biology has to be either genetics or micro organism. Is there any careers that are related to any of thoes and are there any careers that can be considered "safe"
