With a professional engineering license backing up a degree in ocean engineering, it may come as a surprise that Nick Muzia originally wanted to be a marine biologist. It wasn’t until he realized his aptitude in math, and a fateful discovery channel episode featuring submarines, that Nick decided to make the switch. In today’s episode, we chat about how my Midwestern husband discovered his love for the ocean and fascination with submarines. He also shares insight into what exactly an ocean engineer is, the program he took to get his degree, and what a career as an ocean engineer can look like. We also chat about where we live and the important work Nick is doing to help keep our waterways clean. It’s a fun episode and I love being able to share this conversation with you.  show notes: marinebio.life/62 Support the show (http://patreon.com/marinebiolife)
