How do I realize my childhood dream of being a marine biologist. Don't understand why...but the yearning to the sea has existed since before I could remember. Do I become a deckhand or navy diver or something? How can I learn the sea? I am under the impression that I must work in the sea before I can contemplate what lurks beneath. I am quite disillusioned with academia, bio degrees, etc.... I want true marine wisdom, not panzy uni crap. Is there a way to become a marine biologist (that is, who studies the Logos of what the Creator has placed under the waves) without being a "biologist" grantcuck? Just looking at algae arouses me
