What are some animal careers?

Question

Okay. I want really really badly to be an Orca trainer which would be a marine biologist, but I heard that they don't make much money. I am thinking of other possibilities of jobs that include animal interactions. I don't want to be a vet though, because blood grosses me out. If you can please name some animal careers and about how much they make I'll be really happy. Thanxxx!

Answer 2

Well actually biologists make a good salary. It just depends on your level of seniority. A biologist with a phd makes about 50-75 thousand a year. And if you were to work for high class aquariums, you would get payed good. I also want to be a biologist. I love to study how animals behave and how they react to things. My parents say "money is important" but i dont want to be stuck sitting in a cubicle pushing papers and typing documents all my life! I say, go with what you love to do and you wont regret it! If it makes you happy, thats all the wealth you need.
