The creation and implementation of an experimental design was a new experience for me. I had a pretty difficult time coming up with a design, and went through a few versions of experimental design to test my hypothesis. When I finally did come up with a feasible experimental design, I did not find it difficult to implement.
While I definitely have an interest in ecology, I think it is just that; an interest. I definitely gained an appreciation of ecological theory, but I will not be taking part in a career that leads me down that road.
I struggled immensely with all of the literature reviews involved in my study. I am more of a hands-on type of person, not designed to read peer-reviewed articles. I think I’ll stick to firefighting for a bit, and then re-join the military. Thanks BIOL-3021, you made the decisions for my future easier.
