  2. No place.  You can not get an online degree in zoology.  Fact is, it is difficult to get an undergraduate degree in zoology.  Be wary of universities that might be playing the word game and switching zoology for biology.  Most zoology programs are graduate programs.  

    Same goes for wildlife management.  You cant get an online degree in it.  There are techniques and methods that only can be taught in a classroom and in the field.  Lab and field classes are a requirement for that profession.  Not only that but group or team participation.  Many things done in wildlife management require people working together doing certain things as teams.  Cant learn that online.

  3. I don't see how it could work.  When I was getting my degree in wildlife biology, about 30% of my class time was spent outside in the field.  We also had to spend many weekends travelling all over the state for field trips.  I would question the quality and value of an online curriculum in this field if labs and field trips aren't possible.

  4. Not sure about zoology but here are some wildlife related courses -

  5. Hate to say... both would obviously require considerable lab/field work, so chances are you won't find online solutions.

    EDIT:

    I understand the work/bills problem!  Ideas to consider...

    Part-time study (or night school) and possibly a job (or jobs) that will have to suit...

    Downgrading your standard of living to afford to be a student (hard, but weigh the costs to the benefits long-run... live in share accommodation, take public transport, and live like a student)...

    Or, if a 'trade' is an option, maybe look at working for an employer who will 'sponsor' you as an apprentice... in Australia the gov't supports the employers AND the employee apprentice... my otherhalf both works 4 days/week and studies part-time in structural engineering as an apprentice under his boss.

    It's not easy... best of luck finding a solution!
