I'm 26 and recently realized I really enjoy biology. I passed both Biology honors and Marine Science honors with A's and I am currently studying Advanced Biology, Chemistry Honors, and Botany. (Studying for CLEP exams and SAT Subject Tests because I am homeschooled and do not have access to the AP exams in my area.) If I don't graduate this year, in 12th grade I plan to take Physics honors, Organic Chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology.I think that, when I am in college, I'll be studying either General Biology, Plant Science, or Marine Biology. Afterwards, I would go through a teacher certification program or minor in teaching and become certified later on. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I feel as though that would allow me to continue studying throughout my life. I thought I would end up teaching humanities or social studies, but I am much more interested in life science.What is it like being a teacher? Should I go past a bachelors degree in biology if I have the opportunity? What can I do in high school to increase my chances of getting into a biology program? Any advice?

What is it like teaching biology (secondary or in university)?

Yes, you must have a bachelor's degree in biology required.

Sorry I didn’t see this question earlier. I’m not a teacher but in New York you have to have, or be working on and achieve within a specific period of time, a masters degree (in education or a specific subject) to teach in primary and secondary schools

As these are not easy times, it is the young person who cannot imagine doing anything else who is best armed to enter the fray. For that science- compelled young woman or man, I offer the encouragement that violinists have it even harder. https://writingunive...-a-mockingbird/ While working on the essays on To Kill a Mockingbird and about racial discrimination we see people's faith in justice and society eroded, and sharing their losses.
