A Career with Animals?

Hey -so i'm currently in college studying Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Sociology. I've always been set on medicine or veterinary medicine but after work experience in both, i'm no longer sure...

So I started looking into Zoology which i've thought of doing since year 8. But now i'm completely stumped, I know I want a career involving animals in some way, for example wildlife conservation. But I don't want to be stuck in a lab all day either or have a terrible salary... So yeah -are there any jobs involving wildlife conservation and Zoology? With a lot of travelling and decent pay? What would I need to take in university for them?

I know it's a huge question, major Brainfart... I'm just so confused and dreading entering a job I hate till i'm 65!!! Thanks in advance!

no ronnoc foster, just no

hey, it's a nice thinking .this job will be hurt but enjoyable .

You might want to think about being a wildlife or field biologist.You will spend most of your time outdoors studying animals..but you will have to spend time in the office to analyze the data you collect in the field and to write reports etc.You can have the opportunity to travel depending on who you work for. This line of work typically does not pay well.. people go into this field due to their love and passion of animals...not for the money they will make.Sure, you can make a living doing this, but don't count on getting rich.This field is also very competative.I say go for a job you will love rather than one that will just pay you a lot but leave you miserable and hating your life.You can go to school and major in zoology, biology, wildlife management, or similar.

I have not heard of any beginner level jobs where you can play with animals all day and make the big bucks unless you write a book, but that is work

whats this

Become an an accountant specialising in clients who are Very Rich and have Lots Of Animals. They will own racehorses, fancy dogs, or private zoos. You will make enough money to be able to keep your own animals.

Job related to animals is not so bad as you think. You feel so because may be you don't have interest on that field.So choose a field ion which you have interest and don't get bored so.
