Why Ocean Jobs Look Great, Until You Actually Start One

1
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:01,416
There are a lot of people who get into

2
00:00:01,416 --> 00:00:02,375
ocean conservation and

3
00:00:02,375 --> 00:00:03,708
they quietly leave a few

4
00:00:03,708 --> 00:00:04,208
years later.

5
00:00:04,958 --> 00:00:06,083
They don't make a big announcement.

6
00:00:06,583 --> 00:00:07,541
They don't post about it.

7
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,291
They just disappear from the field.

8
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:12,333
It's not that they died or anything.

9
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:13,208
It's just they've gone.

10
00:00:13,791 --> 00:00:14,875
And it's not because they didn't care

11
00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:16,375
enough to become a marine

12
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:18,250
biologist or become a marine

13
00:00:18,250 --> 00:00:19,916
conservationist or ocean conservationist.

14
00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:21,625
It's because their career wasn't built to

15
00:00:21,625 --> 00:00:24,083
last or they had difficulty breaking in.

16
00:00:25,083 --> 00:00:26,000
This is the How to Protect the Ocean

17
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,833
podcast, your weekly ocean news and

18
00:00:27,833 --> 00:00:28,666
conservation podcast.

19
00:00:29,125 --> 00:00:30,666
If you care about protecting the ocean

20
00:00:30,666 --> 00:00:31,958
and building a real

21
00:00:31,958 --> 00:00:34,208
career in this space, follow

22
00:00:34,208 --> 00:00:35,166
the show so you don't

23
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:36,750
miss tomorrow's episode.

24
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:38,916
Let's be honest about something.

25
00:00:39,250 --> 00:00:41,000
Most people don't say it out loud.

26
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:43,708
Ocean conservation careers can be tough.

27
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:45,916
Low pay, short term

28
00:00:45,916 --> 00:00:48,333
contracts, constant uncertainty.

29
00:00:49,541 --> 00:00:51,750
And on top of that, emotional burnout.

30
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Let's be honest here.

31
00:00:53,708 --> 00:00:54,500
We're working on

32
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:55,750
problems that feel massive.

33
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,625
Climate change, overfishing, habitat

34
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:01,500
loss, probably some of the most important

35
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,625
jobs that we've seen today for food

36
00:01:03,625 --> 00:01:05,791
security and safety from climate change

37
00:01:05,791 --> 00:01:06,500
and stuff like that.

38
00:01:06,916 --> 00:01:08,458
And from the ocean and sea level rise and

39
00:01:08,458 --> 00:01:09,041
everything like that.

40
00:01:09,416 --> 00:01:10,916
And sometimes it feels like you're not

41
00:01:10,916 --> 00:01:13,916
making progress fast enough or that

42
00:01:13,916 --> 00:01:15,166
funding continues to get cut

43
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:16,791
so you can't do those jobs.

44
00:01:22,458 --> 00:01:23,791
And it won't. Passion gets

45
00:01:23,791 --> 00:01:25,125
you in the door for sure.

46
00:01:25,791 --> 00:01:28,875
But structure, income and stability are

47
00:01:28,875 --> 00:01:30,000
what keep you there.

48
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,541
But structure, income and stability are

49
00:01:33,541 --> 00:01:34,708
what eventually keeps you there.

50
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:36,833
If you look at ocean conservation

51
00:01:36,833 --> 00:01:38,416
careers, most people fall

52
00:01:38,416 --> 00:01:39,875
into one of three paths.

53
00:01:40,708 --> 00:01:42,875
First, there's academia, research,

54
00:01:42,875 --> 00:01:44,000
publishing, grants,

55
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
teaching, all that stuff.

56
00:01:45,541 --> 00:01:48,041
It can be really rewarding, but it's

57
00:01:48,041 --> 00:01:50,500
competitive and often unstable early on.

58
00:01:51,041 --> 00:01:52,541
Second, there's the NGO and government

59
00:01:52,541 --> 00:01:55,125
work, policy, conservation programs,

60
00:01:55,125 --> 00:01:57,458
communications, field projects.

61
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:00,208
This path can offer some structure, maybe

62
00:02:00,208 --> 00:02:01,541
a pension every once in a while if you're

63
00:02:01,541 --> 00:02:02,250
working for government.

64
00:02:02,708 --> 00:02:03,791
But budgets are super tight

65
00:02:03,791 --> 00:02:05,916
and burnout is very common.

66
00:02:06,916 --> 00:02:09,916
And also, there's also when you have a

67
00:02:09,916 --> 00:02:11,750
president or prime minister who comes in

68
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:13,250
and just cuts the jobs altogether because

69
00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:14,041
they don't believe in

70
00:02:14,041 --> 00:02:15,541
environmental anything.

71
00:02:16,666 --> 00:02:18,333
And then, of course, third, the path is

72
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:19,541
growing far out fast right now is

73
00:02:19,541 --> 00:02:23,291
entrepreneur or creator, people building

74
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:26,250
platforms, consulting, media or

75
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,333
businesses around ocean conservation.

76
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
This is the least traditional path, but

77
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,666
it's also one where there's a lot of

78
00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:34,625
flexibility and opportunity that exists.

79
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:37,916
And here's the key. The path is perfect,

80
00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:40,250
but no path is perfect.

81
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,750
But some give you

82
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,208
more control than others.

83
00:02:44,291 --> 00:02:46,625
If you want to career that last, you need

84
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:49,208
stability and most ocean jobs won't give

85
00:02:49,208 --> 00:02:50,416
you that by default.

86
00:02:51,291 --> 00:02:52,625
So you have to build it yourself.

87
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:54,166
One way is through

88
00:02:54,166 --> 00:02:55,375
multiple income streams.

89
00:02:56,291 --> 00:02:58,916
Maybe you work a conservation job, but

90
00:02:58,916 --> 00:03:00,625
you also consult inside or you have a

91
00:03:00,625 --> 00:03:02,291
side hustle, whatever that might be.

92
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:04,000
You know, I know some people who work in

93
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,625
conservation and then they walk dogs,

94
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:08,125
which is very, I'll be honest, it's kind

95
00:03:08,125 --> 00:03:09,958
of lucrative if you walk dogs.

96
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,291
I've never done it, but I know people

97
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:12,958
who've done it and they make like 75

98
00:03:12,958 --> 00:03:14,625
grand a year by walking dogs.

99
00:03:14,625 --> 00:03:15,291
It's incredible.

100
00:03:15,958 --> 00:03:17,875
Or you run a podcast and get sponsored by

101
00:03:17,875 --> 00:03:19,916
it or you're an influencer and you get

102
00:03:19,916 --> 00:03:21,375
you get sponsors through there.

103
00:03:22,041 --> 00:03:22,958
You can create content

104
00:03:22,958 --> 00:03:24,000
that leads to partnerships.

105
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:25,166
Another way is

106
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:26,791
building transferable skills.

107
00:03:26,791 --> 00:03:28,291
So communication, data analysis,

108
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:31,166
storytelling, project management skills

109
00:03:31,166 --> 00:03:33,166
that work across all sectors.

110
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,333
I got a GIS analyst diploma, advanced

111
00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:37,458
diploma after while I was doing my

112
00:03:37,458 --> 00:03:38,291
master's or just

113
00:03:38,291 --> 00:03:39,375
before I did my master's.

114
00:03:39,375 --> 00:03:42,291
And that kept me employable across every

115
00:03:42,291 --> 00:03:44,000
sector if I wanted to.

116
00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:46,833
You know, I went through a period where I

117
00:03:46,833 --> 00:03:48,041
couldn't find a science job.

118
00:03:48,041 --> 00:03:50,125
So I became a GIS analyst for a company,

119
00:03:50,458 --> 00:03:52,125
which was doing science and I got to do

120
00:03:52,125 --> 00:03:53,375
field work as well as

121
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:55,291
do as be a GIS analyst.

122
00:03:55,708 --> 00:03:57,000
You know, that's how I got into I

123
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,875
eventually how we stayed in the

124
00:03:57,875 --> 00:03:59,250
government as a GIS analyst.

125
00:03:59,625 --> 00:04:01,875
It wasn't my perfect career by any means,

126
00:04:01,875 --> 00:04:04,166
but it got the skill got me other jobs.

127
00:04:04,833 --> 00:04:06,375
So these skills work across sectors.

128
00:04:06,416 --> 00:04:09,666
So if you know one job ends your career

129
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:11,250
doesn't in the government when you work

130
00:04:11,250 --> 00:04:12,375
for the federal government here in

131
00:04:12,375 --> 00:04:14,000
Canada, there's a bunch

132
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,916
of different opportunities.

133
00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:16,000
So there's indeterminate,

134
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,416
which is full time permanent.

135
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:19,541
There's terminant, which is full time,

136
00:04:19,541 --> 00:04:20,750
but there's an end date to it.

137
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:23,416
Usually every year or if there's a like a

138
00:04:23,416 --> 00:04:24,666
fun, like a three year funded

139
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:26,041
project is after three years.

140
00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:29,583
Then there's a there's contractor and

141
00:04:29,583 --> 00:04:31,791
then there's casual right or casual,

142
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:33,041
which is you could be in the building 90

143
00:04:33,041 --> 00:04:35,333
days and then there's contractor, which

144
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:36,375
is kind of like off and on.

145
00:04:36,708 --> 00:04:38,625
You know, you come in, but if you're a

146
00:04:38,625 --> 00:04:41,958
terminant employee, like I was, if my

147
00:04:41,958 --> 00:04:44,625
boss couldn't renew the position the next

148
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:47,083
year because of funding, I had to go and

149
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:49,041
network within the building to be like,

150
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:50,958
hey, I'm looking for a job this, you

151
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,416
know, in this April because we had year

152
00:04:52,416 --> 00:04:54,375
end is March and I'm looking to see if

153
00:04:54,375 --> 00:04:56,000
you have an opening, you know, and then

154
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,583
you would talk to

155
00:04:56,583 --> 00:04:57,375
people and stuff like that.

156
00:04:57,375 --> 00:04:59,791
Some people would hold interviews. Some

157
00:04:59,791 --> 00:05:00,958
people would just like, yeah, no, come

158
00:05:00,958 --> 00:05:02,875
along. I've known you for years. I want

159
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:04,750
to get on that board and I was able to

160
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:07,500
get on it because I had GIS and that's

161
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:08,000
what kept me

162
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,208
employable within the building.

163
00:05:09,916 --> 00:05:12,208
Right. So, you know, you don't just start

164
00:05:12,208 --> 00:05:14,208
over. You're just shifting a little bit.

165
00:05:14,208 --> 00:05:16,166
It all depends on, you know, networking

166
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:17,708
always plays a role, but

167
00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:19,041
looking for that extra position.

168
00:05:19,416 --> 00:05:21,416
Now, this is the mindset shift that

169
00:05:21,416 --> 00:05:23,625
changes everything. Your career is not

170
00:05:23,625 --> 00:05:25,666
your job. Your career is the collection

171
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:29,500
of of everything you build over time. Too

172
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,291
many people pull all their too many

173
00:05:32,291 --> 00:05:33,416
people put all of their

174
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:35,208
trust in one organization.

175
00:05:35,791 --> 00:05:38,166
You're not going to work with your entire

176
00:05:38,166 --> 00:05:39,875
life. That's very rare that you do that.

177
00:05:39,875 --> 00:05:41,791
You might be great if you did, but it's

178
00:05:41,791 --> 00:05:43,833
not always going to happen that way. One

179
00:05:43,833 --> 00:05:45,666
contract, one boss, one opportunity. That

180
00:05:45,666 --> 00:05:46,375
doesn't happen like it used to.

181
00:05:46,416 --> 00:05:48,625
I remember when I went to school, you

182
00:05:48,625 --> 00:05:51,125
know, people were talking like in a DFO

183
00:05:51,125 --> 00:05:52,791
fisheries and oceans in Canada. People

184
00:05:52,791 --> 00:05:53,833
were talking about, yeah, I got hired

185
00:05:53,833 --> 00:05:55,041
right out of school and I've been there

186
00:05:55,041 --> 00:05:56,333
ever since and I've been there for 50

187
00:05:56,333 --> 00:05:56,916
years and they were doing

188
00:05:56,916 --> 00:05:57,708
their 50 year retirement.

189
00:05:58,125 --> 00:06:00,458
That doesn't happen with my generation or

190
00:06:00,458 --> 00:06:01,708
the next generation or the next

191
00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:03,875
generation. I'm Gen X, by the way. And

192
00:06:03,875 --> 00:06:07,125
so, you know, instead, like, so you want

193
00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:09,375
to like, make sure you're a part of

194
00:06:09,375 --> 00:06:11,541
something. Right. So that, you know, when

195
00:06:11,541 --> 00:06:12,958
it disappears, when that one job

196
00:06:12,958 --> 00:06:14,041
disappears, everything

197
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:15,041
doesn't just fall apart.

198
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:17,458
Instead, you want to own something. You

199
00:06:17,458 --> 00:06:19,500
want to have an audience, a network, a

200
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,041
niche, a body of work, something that

201
00:06:22,041 --> 00:06:24,500
moves with you no matter where you go.

202
00:06:25,083 --> 00:06:27,166
That's how you stay in the game long

203
00:06:27,166 --> 00:06:29,500
term. My podcast has

204
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,083
stayed with me for 11 years.

205
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,583
I was working during the podcast, like

206
00:06:36,583 --> 00:06:38,375
when I not when I started it, but after I

207
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:40,583
started it and then I've been working all

208
00:06:40,583 --> 00:06:42,458
the way through ever since there's a

209
00:06:42,458 --> 00:06:44,583
period where I didn't work. But then when

210
00:06:44,583 --> 00:06:46,041
I like the last six and a half years,

211
00:06:46,041 --> 00:06:47,500
I've been working and I've been doing

212
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,375
this podcast at the same time.

213
00:06:50,208 --> 00:06:52,208
And, you know, if somebody wants to buy

214
00:06:52,208 --> 00:06:54,083
the episodes, they'd license it out if

215
00:06:54,083 --> 00:06:55,291
they want to put it on their platform,

216
00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:57,916
you know, but I never give it up. I never

217
00:06:57,916 --> 00:06:59,291
give the rights up to it. Because I

218
00:06:59,291 --> 00:07:02,208
always have this. This always keeps me

219
00:07:02,208 --> 00:07:04,875
not only connected to ocean conservation,

220
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,000
but connected to all like the colleagues

221
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,666
and friends that I've

222
00:07:07,666 --> 00:07:08,375
made over the years.

223
00:07:08,416 --> 00:07:10,833
And that's been important. It's also

224
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:14,000
given me the experience and skill set to

225
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,458
get to have a potential change in a

226
00:07:17,458 --> 00:07:18,875
career, which I hear more tomorrow.

227
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:21,041
Right. So that's how you stay in the game

228
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:22,708
long term is keep something going for a

229
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:24,375
long while. You continue to keep it,

230
00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:25,208
whether it's on the side

231
00:07:25,208 --> 00:07:26,291
or it's your full time gig.

232
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,666
And then you become a resource within

233
00:07:28,666 --> 00:07:30,541
that within for that niche. It's really

234
00:07:30,541 --> 00:07:33,375
great. So here's the truth. Most people

235
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:35,416
don't realize a career in ocean

236
00:07:35,416 --> 00:07:37,000
conservation isn't a straight line.

237
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:40,291
It's a series of pivots. You might start

238
00:07:40,291 --> 00:07:42,708
in field work, which I did. You might

239
00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:45,000
move into policy, shift into

240
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,416
communication and maybe even build

241
00:07:47,416 --> 00:07:49,750
something of your own. That's not

242
00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:51,875
failure. That's adaptation, which is

243
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:52,750
great, especially if you

244
00:07:52,750 --> 00:07:53,958
work in a field with nature.

245
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,750
The people who last in this field aren't

246
00:07:56,750 --> 00:07:59,125
the ones who had the perfect plan. If you

247
00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:00,500
listen to the Beyond Jaws podcast, where

248
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,875
we talked to shark shark experts and

249
00:08:02,875 --> 00:08:03,875
shark scientists and shark

250
00:08:03,875 --> 00:08:05,000
conservationists and just

251
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,083
conservationists in general, their path

252
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:09,500
is never linear. It's always meandering.

253
00:08:10,250 --> 00:08:12,916
They're the ones, the people who adapted,

254
00:08:14,208 --> 00:08:15,625
right? The people who are in the field,

255
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:18,250
the longest, they're the ones who kept

256
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:20,541
evolving. They treated their career like

257
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:22,375
a long game, not a single game.

258
00:08:23,416 --> 00:08:24,500
And I think it's really important if you

259
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,000
want to stay in ocean conservation, you

260
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,250
need more than just passion. You need a

261
00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:31,416
plan that actually supports your life. So

262
00:08:31,416 --> 00:08:34,791
you don't plan the next job. You plan

263
00:08:34,791 --> 00:08:36,916
your career. You can actually sustain.

264
00:08:38,875 --> 00:08:40,250
Right. That's what you really want to do.

265
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,541
And if you go over to ocean conservation

266
00:08:42,541 --> 00:08:45,000
careers dot com, you can see job postings

267
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
that are up there. And I have a resource

268
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,333
that I'm building to help people like

269
00:08:49,333 --> 00:08:51,416
yourself. If you're looking for a job to

270
00:08:51,416 --> 00:08:53,375
help people build out resumes to help

271
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:55,958
people really organize their conservation

272
00:08:55,958 --> 00:08:58,500
career, especially in oceans. So check

273
00:08:58,500 --> 00:08:59,041

275
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,583
If this episode helped you think

276
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:05,125
differently about your plan, about your

277
00:09:05,125 --> 00:09:07,833
future, follow the podcast and share it

278
00:09:07,833 --> 00:09:09,708
with someone who's trying to break into

279
00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:11,333
ocean conservation. It's really important

280
00:09:11,333 --> 00:09:12,375
that we get more people

281
00:09:12,375 --> 00:09:13,625
listening to this stuff.

282
00:09:13,625 --> 00:09:15,541
Because I see on Facebook, I see people

283
00:09:15,541 --> 00:09:17,166
posting about jobs and everything like

284
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:19,250
that. If you know of somebody who has a

285
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:21,083
job available here or if you know anybody

286
00:09:21,083 --> 00:09:23,166
in Africa, if you know anybody, it's not

287
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:25,541
about finding like asking people to get

288
00:09:25,541 --> 00:09:27,375
that job. It's about building your skill,

289
00:09:28,291 --> 00:09:29,333
building your experience

290
00:09:29,333 --> 00:09:30,375
to get that job. Right.

291
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:33,041
And if you listen to any of the episodes

292
00:09:33,041 --> 00:09:35,416
we've done this week, you'll find that

293
00:09:35,416 --> 00:09:36,750
these skills, I hope you find that these

294
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:39,291
skills will help you and not only gaining

295
00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:41,416
experience, but break into that either

296
00:09:41,416 --> 00:09:43,541
first, second, third or fourth job and

297
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:45,791
move around and adapt, you know, with

298
00:09:45,791 --> 00:09:48,625
specific skills that can help you move

299
00:09:48,625 --> 00:09:51,458
across the sector, you know, within ocean

300
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:52,583
conservation or even maybe

301
00:09:52,583 --> 00:09:53,375
outside for a little bit.

302
00:09:53,416 --> 00:09:56,083
You know, I've been outside of the game

303
00:09:56,083 --> 00:09:58,500
for 16 years, but I've kept in it because

304
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,125
I've been doing communication for those

305
00:10:00,125 --> 00:10:01,875
16 years. And I think that's a that's an

306
00:10:01,875 --> 00:10:04,083
important thing to have always in your

307
00:10:04,083 --> 00:10:06,000
heart to be able to say, hey, you know,

308
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,250
I've just I've done this.

309
00:10:07,791 --> 00:10:08,958
You know, this is what I've been able to

310
00:10:08,958 --> 00:10:10,791
accomplish. This is this is my legacy

311
00:10:10,791 --> 00:10:13,875
eventually. So that's it for today's

312
00:10:13,875 --> 00:10:16,416
episode. You know, if you like I said, if

313
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:18,083
you know someone who is going to benefit

314
00:10:18,083 --> 00:10:19,375
