What careers other than a vet or shelter work are there for conservation and wildlife?

Question

I'm graduating from high school next year, and when I go to college I want to major in Biology, but i'm not sure about what careers that offers, I don't want to be a vet, I would rather work with wildlife conservation.

Answer 3

sounds like your an American so i have no idea how your course works but:

im a natural resource manager student which opens up fields in  in areas like catchment management,

working for department  of sustainability and environment (or whatever its called in different states and countries),  

environment consultant

general scientist in heaps of fields (botany, ecology, hydrology etc).

soil scientist/ consultant

fire ecologist (probably more jobs in aust than the usa :)

environmental jobs are not well advertised and most people have trouble naming any environmental jobs but it is important to remember that the jobs are out there.

i think that you need a general degree in environment science or similar and once you graduate choose a job in the direction you want to go. you will find plenty.
