How can I get into freelance writing for the science field?
Any particular level of college degree? (My highest level is an associates...so far). I've had lots of heavy writing classes, along with science & technology classes. But since I'm at the associates degree level, I'm wondering if maybe it's possible I could find some kind of junior level science writer type of job with a magazine, etc.

Well, you have a very low degree for this field choice. It is not impossible. Your best shot is to try to get into goverment work and work your way up from there. Try the NSF. Go to their website and apply online. http://www.nsf.gov/
