Re: Is anyone here a zoologist or herpetologist?
Im majoring in zoology right now, freshman, just starting...
Im not sure what im going to do yet, what ever I can, I suppose. My original plan was to be a vet, but that is extremely hard, so we'll see if I can meet the requirements. Right now Im sort of undecided (partially because I dont know how well I will do in the courses), I really am just interested in anything working with animals, I would love to work at a zoo, but my guess is that the pay isnt as good as a vet.
Also, here at my university, they really dont have any internship opportunities available. Its up to you, they tell us that if you want to work at a zoo, or some type of animal rescue, they dont even care what your degree is and such, its all about knowing people on the inside, and then getting a better placement. They tell us to volunteer and stuff, get your foot in the door, and its up to you to actually get IN... But im pretty sure if you get do start working at a place, like in intern, you can get credit for your work and stuff like that...
Also we have a zoology/conservation club that Im planning on joining, seems pretty cool. Also they have a study abroad thing where we can go to Costa Rica and do research which I really want to do but its like every other year, only problem is im not sure what I could do research on (have to do a project when we get back)
