I want to work with animals one day, but I don’t think being a vet is a fitting career for me. At least a pet vet, a wildlife vet seems WAY more interesting to me

    Hi! I always wanted to be a zoologist since I was a young girl, and I strayed away from this idea after high-school because I feared all the RUMORS I heard about the job! I'm now 26 without a step into college but after years of feeling lost and having a hard life alone, I decided to turn my life to a path once and for all and decided to just go back, full circle and go back to school and go for Zoology/Wildlife Biology. I am 6 months sober and have been so motivated, even if the rumors were true and the pay was terrible. I decided it didn't matter, it has always made the most sense for ME. You are helping me make my dreams come true, I watched some videos and am in the works of becoming enrolled in the Fall. Thank you for all these videos! They have helped me understand what questions I need to ask, and help me narrow my search of my true calling! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

    I know this isn't technically a "Wildlife" job and you've already discussed it in another video, but thought it could be helpful to include here. I'm currently interviewing for two outdoor planner positions, one with the National Park Service and one with US Forest Service. For transparency, both jobs would start out at around $55,000/year with room to grow (as is the usual with Federal jobs). Education wise, I have a Master's in Public Administration (concentration in planning) and have experience building trails, acquiring land, and using NEPA guidelines. Just wanted to include this as an addendum to the video for those interested in the salary, education, and experience requirements for outdoor planning.

    Great video as always! I was wondering if you know where we can get that fundraising experience? I've seen it mentioned a few times on this channel that many positions prefer if you have experience (and sorry if I missed the video that explains this if there is one!) Would any fundraising count as experience? For example volunteering to help advertise someone else's fundraiser even if it's not related to wildlife/general ecology?

    Ah that's a good question, I actually have never worked in non-profit fundraising nor grant writing so take my advice with a grain of salt but I would think any non-wildlife nonprofit type work relating around fundraising would help. I also see a decent amount of internships relating to this for nonprofits too.

    I have a passion for birds and real-life has thrown me into sharing their territory for almost half a decade now. Without much scholarly knowledge in the field I've managed to use my intuition to try not affect the environment around me. I also try not to interfere with the natural behaviours of the species in their habitat. It's been thrilling to witness raptor birds hunting in front of me at times. Their displays can put so much colour in anybody's life the same. I think I've managed to develop a win-win situation with most species in the area. They seem to be proliferating in my presence and I get my wildlife "pass" in return. What started for me as a bit of an ordeal has eventually turned into an exciting period of my life. Who knows someday I might even be interested in a "technician" job. Just thought I might share this. We live in a beautiful natural world. You can't really take your safety for granted, but by respecting other species we might just get to enjoy it a little better while we can. I've had the tiniest scratches for the experience. Wildlife can be so much better and forgiving to us than most people can envisage. I think it has to do with our personal philosophies.

    Hi there. It's 2023. I forgot that I had subscribed to your wonderful channel. I have an undergrad in biology (UDC 94') and was accepted to gradschool many years ago. However, the salaries were so LOW, that I decided to go into medicine and became a physician assistant (HU 00' ). PA salaries range from $126K -to-$150K/yr on average. I think that anyone considering becoming a biologist needs to assess school loan debt-to-income ratio. BUT, doing what you truly LOVE, is perhaps the most important thing, though. Re-watching your video three years later, re-lit my strong desire to be an actual biologist; had it since I was a kid. I want to build on my bio degree so I can do that. I am contemplating pursing a naturalist certification. I live in DC, so am near the Audubon Society, National Zoo and, National Aquarium. I can get involved in some biology-type work. Your video got me psyched up! Thank you so MUCH, for sharing your amazing life and career with us! Take care!

    That'sCrazy you shouldn’t go into debt to get a masters degree in the sciences! Many many people get paid (not a big amount but still) to do their masters through lab funding, teaching and research assistantships. You might wanna consider pausing grad school and trying to find some work first to start paying off your loans though.

I’m tired of the office bullying, politics so I left. My knees can’t take it anymore either. I want to go back to school for that office job but I’m not that old! I’m 41 and still have a good bunch of years left, just TIRED I’m studying for the GRE, although there are lots of programs that do not require this. I LOVE, birds, I LOVE being outside… Just a little guidance on what to jump into next if I’m having trouble making a decision. While I still dream of becoming a vet, I’m being realistic as well. Am I just scared?
