Even though you may love it, the money is most likely not gonna be there. Its funny to see a lot of kids wanting to go into animal science programs but they dont realize what the pay and job opportunities are. I would much more have a job that I tolerate with decent pay, that allows me to keep the fish/reptiles I want than to get a degree in something that interests me but I can't do anything with it and I end up getting some crap job, and not have the money to keep what I want.
