California State University-Monterey Bay offers a progressive education with a focus on environmental sustainability and community engagement. The Marine Sciences program, while passionate and relevant, presents financial challenges with a low starting salary and a long debt payoff period, highlighting the need for careful consideration before pursuing this path.
Warning: It's better to just get ANY job than to join this program!
This program has a negative lifetime value - that means that your salary won't go up enough to cover the costs + debt of going!
