What other opportunities besides fieldwork exist fo someone getting a Marine Sciences BS interested in data science?
I know that the bulk of this degree is to do fieldwork and I love that considering I live in Florida (I'm currently studying marine sciences at the University of Florida). But I was wondering like how likely it would be for me to be able to pivot in a masters degree for Environmental Data Science because its something that I've become very interested in. I'm looking for universities in the UK and I would like to settle down there and am not looking for the travel that some good fieldwork opportunities would require. I also just kind of want to pivot more to environmental sciences/ecology not solely marine life which I do love I'm just becoming interested in different things now.
So I guess mostly what I'm asking is, for these degrees like Environmental Data Science, does my major being marine sciences and not something more broad like biology/ecology/environmental science matter? (I started off as an Electrical Engineering major so I have up to Calculus 3, Physics with Calculus 2, and programming under my belt) Also what sort of jobs does marine sciences allow me to do that isn't solely fieldwork? Like more on the data analysis side of things. Thanks for the help!
