How old do u have to be?

Question

to work with animals at either the san diego zoo or sea world?

Answer 1

I don't think you'll get to work with the animals at san diego zoo or sea world unless you work there. You might get to have some animal interaction if you intern, go to a camp, or volunteer (maybe as a jr zookeeper).

To get a job at san diego zoo or sea world you will, most likely, need a degree and hands-on experience with animals.

Look at the links below and go talk to your career counselor at school. I was thinking about becoming a zookeeper, my counselor gave me advice on volunteer opportunities in my area (a raptor rehab), colleges (Moorpark's EATM program), and advice on jobs and how to reach my goal.

I hope these links will help. Good Luck.

16. Will the EATM program give me an advantage over any other schools or programs?

YES! There are facilities which contact us first when they have openings, because they prefer to hire our graduates. We have a job board at the EATM office, and also a posting on-line for graduates of the program.

For example, in March of 2001, the San Diego Zoo had openings for 7 summer positions. They received over 200 applications. All 7 of the people they hired were from the EATM graduating class of May 2001.

Many of our students want to train marine mammals - we send graduates all over the world to do this. Especially to the Caribbean - a new Dolphin Program hired 4 graduates in the summer of 2001, and more in 2002, 2003 & 2004.

The May 2003 graduates currently have many wonderful jobs. One is working in Shamu Stadium at Sea World in San Diego, training the Killer Whales! (His photo is to the right) Several others are with Universal Studios - both in Orlando and Hollywood. Others are with various Marine Mammal facilities in the U.S. and abroad. Graduates from the class of 2004 are working training Guide Dogs in California, with marine mammals at Sea World Orlando, Sea Life Marine Park in Hawaii, Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, California - and many other facilities. Graduates from the class of 2008 have jobs at - Sea World San Diego, the U.S. Navy training sea lions, Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, Universal Studios Hollywood - and many other places.  EATM graduates get jobs everywhere.

We also receive many job listings each week, from companies and organizations who want to hire our graduates, and we maintain an on-line listing of jobs - available to graduates of the program.
