To start on the path of a biology related career you take high school classes that will give you a basic background of biology. Classes that I have taken to prepare for a biology related career are biology one and two, Chemistry, and Physical Science. If I were to go to a 4 year out of state college for example the University of Illinois the tuition cost would be $31,988. Room and board would cost $11,308 and books would cost $1,200. In total it would cost $44,496. To help with this high cost there are many scholarships available such as Stamps Family Charitable Foundation, University of Illinois transfer scholarship, Matthew Scholars, Jerry D. Burnam Student Scholarship, AHS Scholar award and AHS Dean’s Scholarship. With these scholarships …show more content…
Room and board would cost $6,600. Books would cost $1,200. In all it would cost $12,960 to study at Iowa Central. There are more than enough scholarships to apply for at Iowa Central. The scholarships include Academic scholarships, which can range from $600 to full tuition. Other scholarships are housing scholarships, Bonnie Kirkberg Van Gundy Scholarship, Department/Program Scholarship, Fort Dodge Coin Club Scholarship, John King Scholarship, Steiner Family Scholarship, Sozbach Scholarship, and Trinity Regional Medical Center Scholarship. If you were to be accepted for all those scholarships at minimum amount awarded you could recieve $7,075. The cost of going to Iowa Central would be $5,885. A huge difference from the other schools. A good plan would be to go to a two year school like Iowa Central to get the basics out of the way and then transfer to a larger school and follow them into a graduate program. The military always offers different programs you can go through and they have a program for physiologists. The Navy offers a program for physiologists to work alongside sailors and marines to ensure their health. The Navy says they require physiologists to “diagnose treat and rehabilitate exercise or training related injuries. To do this they need to analyze physiological and chemical function of living organisms, conduct research on physiological responses to the environment, …show more content…
The best places to look for a job where there is less competition and a higher chance of getting hired is offices of other practitioners. In a general overlook Virginia is the best state to look for jobs. The outlook in Iowa for physiologists is growing by 14%, so there is a slightly rising demand. I chose Trinity health organization in Melrose park, Illinois as the place where I want to work. I chose a place close to Iowa for family and other places are expensive. To live in a one bedroom apartment in Melrose it cost $810 and for one in Carroll it costs $555. Melrose is more pricey than Carroll, but leaving Carroll is probably worth
Iowa State University is a land grant school which, among other things, means that the university gets money from the state of Iowa from the taxes that residents pay to the state. Because of this in state residents who choose to go to the university do not have to pay a large amount of money while out-of-state residents have to pay almost twice as much. Iowa State University does not have reciprocity, meaning that even residents from the surrounding states, Minnesota, Illinois, etc., have to pay full out-of-state tuition. Out-of- state residents have to pay about $9000 a year for tuition, while Iowa residents pay only about $2500 per year. (See fig1 for semester costs)
For this project, I decided to take on the career of a veterinarian. As a veterinarian, I would have to examine animals to diagnose their health problems, treat and dress wounds, perform surgery on animals,test for and vaccinate against diseases, operate medical equipment(x-ray machines, etc.), advise animal owners about general care, medical conditions, and treatments, prescribe medication, and euthanize animals. To get a job in this profession, you have to have a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. You also have to have to take many science classes including biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, zoology, microbiology, and animal science.You would have to take about four years of college which adds up to about $100,000 dollars in student
Graduating from high school is a proud moment in every student’s life. They must prepare what comes next for them whether it’s to get a job, start a career, or pursue continuing education. The cost for a college education can be overwhelming. There are many factors that play into the cost of going to secondary education. College tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses, room and board. These expenses can vary for public community colleges and four year universities, public or private universities, and state residents or out of state residents. Community college tuition can range from $1,000-$12,000 for state residents and $4,000-$30,000 for non-residents. Four year college tuition can range from $4,000-$16,000 for state residents and $10,000-$35,000 for non-residents. Private four year institutions can cost as much as $25,...
Everything comes with a price, especially college education. The University of Iowa’s webpage, 2013-2014 Undergraduate Cost of Attendance states that, “these expenses represent average amounts” (3). Most costs vary depending on duration and living plans for the students. For a student living on campus, the estimated total price is around $20,691. Tuition fees, and housing and meals, normally add up to be about $17,485, out of the total. Then there is the books, personal, and transportation fees which end up being $3,206. For many families, that ends up being quite a bit of money. But both schools allow the use of financial aid or even loans to pay for the college education.
Beforehand entering into the Air Force or even a training program, a future solider must obtain a bachelor’s degree, strongly recommended in a basic and behavioral science: Microbiology, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, or Physiology (The P.A. Life, 2016). An alternate route for the education requirement would be to obtain a Master of Science (MS) in relation to Physician Assistant studies from an accredited institution, which the Air Force pays for, or an associate degree with physician assistant studies relations with any bachelor degree (“Enhancing Quality Healthcare”, 2016). The next step will be graduating from an accredited Physician Assistant program to grasp the knowledge of principles and practices of medical treatments (“Enhancing Quality Healthcare”, 2016). After graduating from the accredited program, a future prospect for the Air Force needs to complete a minimum of six months of experience in Physician Assistant assignments (“Enhancing Quality Healthcare, 2016). There is also the requirement to complete a five week Commissioned Officer training course, which base is the Maxwell Air Force Training Base located in Montgomery, Alabama (“Enhancing Quality Healthcare, 2016). This training program will test the will power, self-determination, and physical strength against many ailments to distant the weak from the strong. The
Unfortunately, my family and I fall into an area of the middle class that prohibits us from receiving need-based aid. Although I have graciously been awarded the Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship, without some additional form of aid, a Seton Hill education may be prohibitively expensive. My fourth year’s tuition alone would cost $37,520 with my current scholarship, and I would still have to pay for living expenses. Once my undergraduate and fifth years’ expenses are included, I will be over $150,000 in debt when I graduate. As a student who has worked exceedingly hard in the classroom and as a leader for four years, this amount of financial burden feels like a punishment. If I do not receive the Seton Scholar Award, I am not confident that I can attend Seton Hill and make the impacts I have described in this
This job appeals to me because I really enjoy working with animals and I would like to travel around the word to study all kinds of different animals. I think it would be fun to travel to places like Africa and the Amazon to study the different animals in those two places.
Financial aid helps but it does not help as much as it once did. Pell grant of $4,000 represents only 39% of the average costs of attending a four year public college (Mutari, 307). Grant aid per student has not kept up with the pace of rising
You’re on vacation with eight of your closest teenage girl friends and are staying in a cabin house at the mountains. It’ the middle of the night, you’re sleeping soundly in your bunk, suddenly you hear noise outside of your window. You begin to panic, yet you don’t want to wake anybody up, convincing yourself it’s nothing you fall back asleep. Plenty of minutes later you hear a louder noise and decide to look outside your window, little did you know a six-foot black bear would be staring you down. After waking everyone up, you decide to call Animal Protection Hotline and explain to them that a black bear appears to be outside your cabin. They send a specialist to remove the bear, so out of curiosity you ask where the bear is going to be taken. They say that it will be held at the local zoo where he will be residing now and a zoologist will care for it. While many people think that zoology only deals with zoo animals, conservation and animal relocation are important parts of the field of zoology. Zoology is the intense research of animals, dead or alive, and the caring for their well-being as well as ensuring species management and survival.
The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know. This didn’t upset me; it made me curious. Because, of all the things that we should know about, surely our own minds and our own bodies are paramount among them, and yet we still have so much to learn. I’ve since learned that this phenomenon is not restricted to the biological – gravity is one of the most important things in our lives, yet we do not know its cause. But the biomedical questions continue to fascinate me, perhaps because the answers are so vital. Sure, cosmology is intriguing, but what about a cure for cancer, or even the common cold? What about a way of repairing or bypass...
Marine Biology is what I would like to study. I want to become a marine biologist because I want to discover new species. I want to go to the 70% of the ocean that has not been discovered. Marine biologists also get to go travel to different places. They not only get to seethings underwater which not many people get to see, but they also get to see places on land which not many people get to see. Marine biologists are also interesting to me because they get to swim for most of their work day. I love the water and swimming. Marine biology is a very interesting and intriguing career to me.
When the average person thinks about zoology, they usually think about a zoo and or animals. As said in General Zoology, many questions come with this topic. “What is life? In what ways are the various kinds of animals alike or unlike in structure, internal processes, and modes of life? How do animals carry on their activities? How are the many kinds related to one another? In what ways does man resemble and differ from other living things? The answers to many of these questions are provided by the science of zoology.” (General Zoology, page 3). While zoology does involve animals, the general study of zoology is far more complicated then one would imagine. Zoology is a branch of biology that studies the classification, origins, habitats and behaviors of organisms. Someone who studies zoology is a zoologist, and has the tasks of learning about new species and their habitats. It is a job that if mastered, can be one of the most fulfilling and knowledgeable careers someone can obtain.
My long term career goals include the pursuit of research in the field of Bioinformatics and teaching in an academic environment. I have found that a career in research is both intellectually stimulating and satisfying and hence I have decided to take this up as my career objective.
My future plans are to become a biomedical scientist. Biomedical scientists serve in all levels of health science research from basic science working with cell cultures to human clinical trials experimenting the most cutting-edge breakthroughs to maximize human quality of life. I am interesting in researching rare diseases. There are many rare diseases that affect small proportions of the population and unfortunately go unnoticed for reason. Unfortunately, usually it is because therapeutic agents for these diseases would have a much smaller market than therapeutics for common diseases. There is an immense need for research attention to ultimately improve clinical outcomes in patients of rare diseases because many are a lifelong chronic prognosis and are genetic and non-modifiable by lifestyle factors and are lacking of often absent of current treatment options. The government helps by socializing the solution by having money set aside by public National Institute of Health (NIH) to research ‘orphan diseases’. An example of one such program from the NIH is Orphan Products Natural History Grants Program.
Over the last years, attention to public health issues has been increasing as well as aspirations to high health standards. Medical professions are in high demand because of the need of constant improvements of the health care system. The medical field offers a wide range of valued career paths and opportunities that differentiate by their responsibilities, obligations, educational requirements, and salary. When considering a career in health care, it is very important to analyze all the aspects involved and then determine the choice that best fit the person needs.
