Okay, first of all i want to tell you my interests. They are kind of straight forward. First of all, i like biology. I do not want to be like some animal vet or someone who JUST works with animals 24/7. I've always loved the outdoors, and nature itself. I love some things in psychology, but i couldn't listen to someones problems and emotions 24/7, i would go mad. I like to study things out of the ordinary, like say, bigfoot or something. I don't mean i want to spend every day searching for bigfoot, i just mean i want to work somewhere in biology that can fluctuate between 1. actually being in the outdoors and doing field work 2. lab work 3. being called to sometimes do special researches or search for a wild animal. Im a very smart student and plan on making alot of money, and i want to use my intelligence in biology, and make good money doing so. If you can, please suggest possible career choices, thanks so much.

Sounds like you want to do research. You will get a nice balance of field work, lab work and writing. You will just have to decide what you want to research. I used to work with horseshoe crabs so I spent my time collecting and tagging them, mapping their migratory routes, analyzing their blood chemistry and writing papers. Now I work in medical research. So I work with animals in that I use them to test for cures for polycystic kidney disease, but I also analyze my data and write papers. There are a million things you could do. You have to decide for yourself what you want to do. And you are going to have to put in a lot of time and effort in order to make "good money" because keep in mind you will have to go on to graduate school and it is not cheap. You will have to pay off your debt while working. It takes a long time to work your way up to where you will make good money.

forensic pathologist, or scientist. You spend your time in the lab conducting experiments and doing labwork on evidence primarily. This field also requires psych. and a lot of bio. It's very fun and you make lots of money

Take a major in biochemical engineering and do a minor in psychology or on medicine
