☛ If you are interested in scientific adventures, study biology or other related life sciences. Chemistry will keep you in the lab and on the computer, while marine biology will get you into the field.

☛ If you are interested in travel, hospitality and tourism programs would be a smart investment. Study a foreign language as an added bonus in marketing yourself down the road.

☛ If you are interested in outdoor sports or other activities that involve being in nature, ecology programs with all sorts of specialties are available all over the country. Talk to an academic adviser to find out what is right for you.

☛ After graduating, you can apply for Fulbright Fellowship or other grant program to fund a research or teaching experience in another country. They field all manner of different project ideas, from teaching music forms.

☛ If college is not in the cards for you, never fear. Keeping yourself informed about your intended adventurous field does not necessarily need to be any more complicated than getting a library card and doing the work yourself. Developing a good set of skills, like videography or photography can likewise be a particularly useful skill. Someone needs to know how to operate those high-definition video cameras in the arctic.
