self explanatory
Ive always liked the appeal of being a scientist, but I want to be out in the field and in nature. Zoology,oceanography,marine bio,arecehology ect
I dont want to be in a lab or office crunching numbers. Ive also thought about photography, maybe something I could do for national geographic. Thoughts and suggestions?
Have you ever thought about becoming a Pokemon trainer?

You sound fairly young, scientist here, go for ecology. Any other science is essentially lab work. Ecology students get to go on field trips all the fucking time.
Lab work. medicine or chemistry. Maybe agriculture, then you'll get to go outside.
Going on field trips might seem like a good idea now, but you'll get tired of it. Look outside right now.
I would stay away from "funded" science. The areas you listed are money sinks. These fields have work when someone wants to burn money.
Decent work is where companies invest to make money.

THIS. I didn't know about ecology until about halfway through college. I switched majors and I constantly have classes with practical labs (basically just learning anatomy and how to ID things) or field trips.
You have to work hard though and be good at math, especially statistics for this major.

what jobs are listed for ecology?

1005 this. I went zoology for a few semesters and unless we had some rich guy persuaded to give us a grant we spend more time then I wanted indoors
Perhaps consider becoming a park ranger, or a park naturalist as a specialty. My aunt is a senior ranger for a county park and loves her job.
