I've been contemplating studying wildlife conservation and would be very grateful for some advice?

Question

I've thought about it for some time now but i've read that it's a very difficult field to get into and that you have to do a few years of volunteer before you can get a paying job.It's either that or social care.I'm very indecisive and i know it's a personal choice but any advice/tips/thoughts would be much appreciated.Thankyou.

Answer 1

It's not THAT hard to get into. I worked halftime in fisheries (yeah, I  know it's not exactly the same thing) during my senior year in college and had summer jobs with two states and with the USF&WS. If I'd majored in the field and done well during those summers, I think I could have had a good permanent job, presuming I found a suitable opening. Granted, volunteer work wouldn't hurt, until you can get paid work.

Answer 2

Focus always at studying wildlife. And study Very Very Very Very Hard. Join trainings in wildlife rehabilating and others regarding wildlife and the most of all, pray to God.
