I want to become a Orca Whale Trainer but what do you have to do and get to become a Orca Whale Trainer. I also live in U.K so that means if I do become an Orca Whale Trainer then I'll have to move to America!

Please answer my question

  1. Profound humility would be an excellent place to start.  You're going to be dealing with the creature that has the most highly-evolved brain on the planet, a brain literally four times the size of yours and 30 MILLION years more highly evolved, and you're going to train it to do what?  

    Why don't you start by studying them enough in the wild to understand that to just jump in the water with them without a specific invitation to do so is so rude, you probably won't see them again.  If you learn to mind your manners around them well enough to avoid doing something incredibly rude, like approaching one or worse, reaching out to touch one, don't you think you might have a huge advantage in getting them to perform for you?  

    You might have to come to the states to work as an orca trainer, but the Channel and the North Sea are full of orcas, and if you can get one to do anything repeatedly, whenever you desire out there, you'll be able to get a job as a trainer in any of those parks, believe me.  (Hint: always use praise, affection and admiration as rewards for desired behavior, and never food.

    So get your butt on a boat any way you can and start learning everything you can about these beings you hope to teach.  And good luck to you.  You have chosen the most interesting occupation I can think of, and you're going to learn a lot no matter what.
