Question

okay so i like traveling alot, and i love animals. Im more intrested in wild animals.

any ideas? im only 14 so i have time to think of something lol.

thnx, no rude answers please

Answer 1

Here are all the animal jobs I can think of....

Vet (can be very varied once you are trained, eg pets, zoo, wildlife etc)

Vet nurse / vet tech

Zoologist (you could study animals in the wild, or as a zookeeper)

Marine biologist (studying marine life, dolphin trainer etc)

Dog groomer

Dog trainer

Pet sitter / dog walker

Animal behaviourist (either with pets or exotics)

Kennel / cattery person

Work with rescue / welfare (eg wildlife or pet rescue - maybe as animal care staff, rehomer, investigator, rehabilitator etc)

Animal photographer

Animal technician (works with lab animals)

Since you are young and have plenty of time to plan ahead - maybe see if you can get some work experience or do voluntary work in a few places. (You may need to wait till you're 16 though!)

You can also start looking at what sorts of qualifications various jobs need, and what specific areas interest you. Some jobs (eg vet or zoologist) requier a degree in this subject. Many animal jobs are less academic, and you can find more general, hands-on courses in animal care etc.

Just to warn you - the animal industry can be very competitive. It really helps if you have plenty of experience, and relevant qualifications where applicable.

Good luck - working with animals is fab! (So long as you can cope with noise and mess and who knows what else!) I wuoldn't swap it for the world.

Answer 2

Maybe go and help orphaned baby animals at an animal sancutuary or you could and research animal behaivour or join the RSPCA ! lol

Answer 3

Answer 4

if you like wild animals why do you try going out west and working with wild horses? its a very interesting job but you have to be hard working
