What careers other than zoo-keeper and veterinarian involve working with animals?

The closest vet schools to you are in Tennessee and Indiana most likely. You will have to major in a science or food animal course of study during your undergraduate career, and you must make really good grades and take a lot of science courses like anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, cytology, microbiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry. You will also have to take physics and calculus and public speaking.

During this time, volunteer at a local wildlife center or nature center as much as possible, and take courses in ornithology, herpetology, invertebrate zoology, embryology as electives. Volunteer or work at both a small animal and large animal veterinary clinic for as many years as possible. You might be able to get a position at one now during your senior year, and if they won't hire you choose a busy one where the vets like to teach and volunteer there at least once a week.

Be willing to go on Saturdays and after school especially when they are having emergencies, that is when you are going to learn the most. If you get great grades you can likely apply for financial aid for undergraduate school and can get loans for vet school. During your senior year of college, you will have to take the veterinary aptitude test and make a great score on it.

In vet school, spend as much time as you have free with the exotic animal department, including weekends and time during the week, and keep up with your volunteering at a wildlife facility. Ask the local zoo for a tour behind the scenes, ask the zoo vet if you can ride with him/her when you are in vet school to get more experience. If you can get employment at the zoo during the summer or be a docent or do anything at the zoo that has anything to do with the animals, that would be good as well.

There will have to be a lot of study on your own, most of the zoo animals are not taught as part of the vet school curriculum. Then once you graduate from vet school, apply for internships to zoos, then residencies, then you may land a permanent position. Most zoo vets have at least one internship or residency under their belts before they really become in charge of any of the collection.

So, you can expect to be in school or some facsimile thereof for the next 10 to 12 years to achieve your goal. You must be excellent in every one of these things, study hard, be willing to make it your life, because there is an incredible amount of competition for these positions.It will be difficult to have any sort of family life and be a zoo vet too, the time commitment to the collection is too great. .

And you won't make as much money as a vet in private practice would. But you will work with amazing animals every day, you will always be stimulated and challenged, and you may have the opportunity to travel and participate in ongoing research projects.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
