[ccurran07]

Hey all~

Just wondering if anyone knows about the jobs for people pursuing careers in the marine sciences? Are there any?! What would be a good place to look for them in SC?

Currently looking into NC, SC, VA coasts n possibly FL.

Thanks for the help

I would recommend contacting the folks at Upstate Forever for more information. They should have a good understanding about the opportunities available throughout the region and the state.
