Since I was a kid I wanted to do something that dealt with ocean life. I went to sea camp at age 8 and I knew then that I wanted to be a marine biologist. But since I didn't do too well in junior high and high school I didn't follow my heart and become a marine biologist because I didn't think I could handle the school work. I did graduate high school but barely. Afterwards I went to a crappy non college credited culinary school and became a chef instead. I do enjoy cooking and have been moderately successful at it. However, I can't help but fear that when I get older that I will have missed out on my true passion. I'm thinking about starting college to pursue being a marine biologist or zoologist with an emphasis on ocean life. I realize that it's a hard field to excel in but even if I don't land a high paying job or what not I would be happy at least knowing that I did it. I think now that I'm older and would be working towards something that I want more than anything I would be able to handle the school work. My wife is very supportive and wants me to do it. I just wanted to know if anyone by any chance has been in this situation or one similar. Thanks
