Chappy, I've been a biologist for almost 15 years and it's just like any other job and no better than a lot of other jobs out there. I also noticed that after becoming a biologist and working 40-60 hours a week working fish and wildlife issues that I lost interest in hunting and fishing. Not to mentioned most of my free time was spent working. I'd try to spend some time talking with some biologists before you take the plunge and go back to school. Being a biologist isn't as easy as most would have you think.
