    I'm in love with entomology but making it my career would require major life changes. I don't know what to do ): UPDATE: I did it, I’m making those changes !!

    I absoutely agree with you Peter! Once I started noticing insects and giant divers world opened up. The are insects around us everywere we go. I noticed they change dramatically with in just a few miles or even blocks. Micro enviroments where certain insects live and thrive. I have made many hikes and adventures 10 tmes more interesting simply by watching for different insects. With a sheet, some black lights and a warm night, the world opens up to facsinating shapes, colors, patters, textures, behaviors that most never see.

      Do your bachelor's in zoology and then masters in it and Entomology as your major..
      Roam around forests, outgrowths... observe nature...that is the best way to learn...
      It is how I learned the most
      Good luck!

    I so wish I had gotten into entomology in my younger years. When I was a boy I would search the back hill for old empty beer cans and find many insects caught up in them, hence my collection grew. Noticing insects opens up a world few take the time to see. It is facinating. I live in Berkeley and need to make it up the hill and have a look. I have a collection here as well.

    Insects have always fascinated me. God's creations are truly amazing! I like to draw and paint them. I've started finding specimens that are ethically sourced, meaning they live out their natural lives and are not killed for the art. I prefer that.

    I'm an insect nerd(especially into beetles) in Turkey and i really want to be an entomologist. I know the importance of insects in our environment and love everything about them. I love finding, collecting and identifying insects all summer long. Unfortunately, entomology basically doesn't exist here in Turkey and its just an extension of pest control jobs, while being very hard and expensive to get into. People look at me weird when i tell them i'm interested in insects. My family wants me to keep it as a hobby while i actually want to do it professionally. Sorry, i just came here to vent. I wish i was born in a different environment, where i could pursue my dreams, where my choices mattered.
    People, don't let bad situations stop you from pursuing your dreams. Don't be like me, unable to do anything, trapped in your room for hours to study. Make very good use of the opportunities given to you, and before life can trap you in its jaws like an antlion, run out of the hole and be free.

If you can get into a reputable government institution like the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) or any of the state run agricultural universities, you can get quality education for an affordable price. Job opportunities in the agricultural sector are pretty good for entomologists. Forensic entomology is also a growing area here.
