Sociobiology
Social organisms such as bees,
ants, schooling fish, flocking birds, and humans have evolved behavior,
ecology, and evolution.
The types of jobs that zoologists
do are likewise fairly varied. Many students choose zoology as an undergraduate
degree because they want to work in one of the health care professions
(veterinary medicine, medicine, dentistry) or in the environmental sciences.
Agricultural, biotechnological/pharmaceutical, and environmental/ecological
jobs are all accessible. There are positions available both in the field and in
the lab. Positions in government, environmental agencies, education (including
universities and colleges), and industry are all possibilities (including
consulting firms and biomedical companies). Depending on how biological
sciences are organized at a given college or university, a student interested
in majoring in biology may be able to do so.
