I love animals, and that's what I want my college major to be related to, so what should I pick?

Question

I love animals! At first I wanted to be a Zoologist ( & I still do,) but I wouldn't be able to travel all over the world, and I'm not sure the area I live in has job opurtunitys for a zoologist. The closest thing to me is a zoo, and I would love to work there! But, I'm worried that I wont get on there, and there isnt anything close that i would be able to do. So I'm thinking that I should change my major to be something more flexable, any ideas on what I should pick that would be related?

Answer 1

You could be a biologist. That pays really well. Or you could be a philosopher and write books on animal rights.

Answer 2

You say you love animals, is it any kind of animals or just exotic ones like at the zoo. Because you can always work at a vet hospital in the kennel or at the front desk and if they really like you, then they can train you as a vet tech. You can also volunteer working at the zoo while you are in college. That should look good when you are applying for a job there. Since you want to travel around the world, maybe you can think about becoming a vet and just handle exotic animals and then you will be able to do that. Good Luck
