hello! future stem major (maybe)

hello! i am looking to attend university online and will be doing a bachelor's in science: biology with a focus on conservation ecology. i have about two years to complete since i will be transferring from community college. i am a first generation college student. i am unemployed and struggling to find a job, so if i am going to attend school i need as much assistance as i can get. i am very passionate about art, sharks, and the ocean. i wouldn't mind being an artist, educator, or field researcher one day, amongst other things. thank you for any information / advice!
