What jobs can i get working with dolphins?

Question

I absolutely LOVEEEE dolphins!!!! They are my favorite animal. What jobs can I get working with dolphins. I'm fine with going into the ocean or having to deal with sharks. I also need to know what colleges are good for these jobs. HELP ME!!!!

Answer 1

I think you should study about dolphins in the internet. Then go to Sea World or Monterey Bay Aquarium ( I think they don't have dolphins there so you might want to learn about sharks too) and show them what you know about these sea creatures. Good luck!

Answer 2

You could do research, be a vet, dolphin trainer, etc

Marine Science Careers are a broad category of careers that specialize in the ocean environment and its inhabitants. Areas of concentration include conservation, ecology, geology, geography, oceanography, botany, mammals, invertebrates, birds, paleontology, veterinary medicine, animal behavior, education, museum curator and many more. *****

If science is not your best subject but participating in the conservation and understanding of marine mammals or the marine environment is your passion, you can still get involved. Marine science organizations, government agencies and universities all need support staff, and some use volunteers.

Animal trainers have one of the most visible jobs within a zoological park--the one most people ask about, and one of the most difficult to get. There are a very limited number of openings in this field. Background experience helpful for a position in this department would include courses or knowledge in zoology, behavioral and experimental psychology, animal behavior, public speaking, communications, education, and theater.

Answer 5

You might get a job at Sea World, but don't expect to do it for long, nor get paid very well................

Answer 6

get involved with an entrapment and research program. You get to respond to whale and dolphin strandings and many of these groups have summer positions for students. The group I'm with has me helping out with research, cleaning whale remains, and teaching kids about marine life.  Best summer job ever.
