Occupations involving animals?

I was wondering if anyone has any occupations/careers involving animals. I'm graduating next year and still don't know what I'm going to do, but I want to do something involving animals. Other than a vet does anyone have any ideas of what I could do or look into? I would love to hear about some of your jobs or jobs you know of plus maybe a job description and how you get into it? Thank you so much, and I was wondering about a vet tech and if there are any of you on there who wouldn't mind telling me a little about the job. Thanks :)

I also want to do this aswell. I am a sophmore. i think you should look into law enforcement, whee you can rescue animals, or even a zoologist. where you can go in many different directions. I wanted to be a vet but i just don't have the gut's to put an animal down. hope i helped good luck.

A Vet takes a lot of time and $$ to fulfill.. It does open the door to many opportunities --Regular practice w/ small animals

--Practice w/ Large Animals--horses, cows, ...

--Working for a Zoo after some special training on usually some

species.

--Rescue groups for Endangered animals

--Animal Shelters

--Animal trainer

There are Vet Techs and Also Vet Nurses--they have more training than a Tech and can do some things a Tech may not be able to do. Either would get you opportunities in Vet clinics or Rescues or possibly Zoos...

If you go thru the full training for a Vet suggest you add alternative therapies as well--Herbs, massage, Tellington Touch, Aromatherapy,... to make it more useful to Owners looking for more than just a pill. Can offer also Boarding and Doggie Daycare or Pet sitters and Dog training thru your office..

How about being a vet tech? They are basically animal nurses for veterinarians. It only requires 2 years of schooling and you make a pretty decent salary. You can read more about the career here: http://www.veterinary-technician.net
