A quick chat with Dr. Bronson Strickland of the Mississippi State University Deer Lab [Video]

Dr. Bronson Strickland sees firsthand how difficult it is for some students to know exactly what it is they want to do with their professional lives once they reach college.Strickland, the St. John Family endowed professor of wildlife management at Mississippi State University, did not experience the stress of that unknown himself. He was in junior high when a friend told him about another friend whose dad was a deer biologist.“When I heard that, my question to my friend was, ‘There’s a job where you can be a deer biologist’” Strickland said. “I knew from that point on.”
