What jobs are there with animals?

Question

i need to select my year 12 subjects and also write out two careers im interested in.

people always say, "what are you interested in?", the only thing i can think of to help me with picking a job would be i have a passion for animals but i am against animal labs/testing/cruelty and zoos and animal circus's.

Also do they offer a good paycheck lol. I mentioned to my mum about being an animal attendant and she said no, they don't get paid enough.

I've already found, dog trainer, groomer, vetinarian/nurse.

Any other jobs/recomendations ?
