I am thinking about getting my bachelor in zoology. Worth it?
I would like to be a vet but my issue is that if I get my zoology degree and can't get into vet school what am I to do with this degree. Is it worth the potential risk?

Nathan ,
What a great profession you are interested in . Remember a degree can take you to an array of a specific field you just have to sit down and write
what specific area you want to be immersed in, in some cases you can get certified and licensed with the degree to make you more versatile.
This is true in many fields and depending on what state you are in.
A bachelor's degree in zoology can lead to many careers in the scientific, environmental, and agricultural industries. Some of the jobs you can pursue with a zoology degree include:
Zoologist: Study animal behavior, physiology, genetics, and ecology in a variety of settings, including universities, museums, zoos, and laboratories
Wildlife biologist: Study wild animals and their habitats, and use that information to develop conservation plans
Veterinarian: Provide healthcare services to animals, including diagnosing and treating illnesses, performing surgery, and prescribing medication
Zookeeper: Care for the welfare and health of animals in a zoo
Animal behaviorist: Study animal behavior and psychology to understand why animals act the way they do
Conservation scientist: Work to protect natural resources and preserve ecosystems
Marine biologist: Study marine life, including fish, whales, sharks, and dolphins
Ecologist: Study the relationships between organisms and their environment.
I hope this helps
