My name is Krista Glova and I'm in the 7th grade at Riverwood Middle
School.  We are having career week, and I chose botany for my research.  
If you are a botanist, would you help me with some of these questions?
1) What type of education or degrees must a person get to become a
    botanist?
2) How many years must a person go to college?
3) Are there any internships or residency work?
4) What type of company hires people in this field?
5) Where are the jobs located (where can you live)?
6) Are there many jobs available?
7) Do a lot of people have this job or are only a few needed?
8) If a person just graduated from college, how much could they expect to 
    make?  How much would it increase in 10 years?
9) What are the benefits and perks (insurance, retirement, etc.)?
10) What are the advancement opportunities (salary and job title)?
11) What are typical every day duties?
12) What are the good and bad points of a career in botany?
13) How many days and hours a week do you work?

Thank you for your time and help.
