What are the steps I need to take to work with wildlife as a career?
I’ve always wanted to work with animals but now that I am older I’ve noticed that many don’t have such good pay and where I live doesn’t have many opportunities to work with wildlife or volunteer. My name is Alexa, I live in AZ, and I want to work with wildlife. I want to know how I can actually work with wildlife and what do I need to study to actually succeed in this? Also what are all the careers that involve animals, I have trouble finding one really good job and I’m just undecided.

To gain experience start volunteering on wildlife projects. Google volunteering in your area and you will find many opportunities. You can also volunteer at your local zoo or rescue center. While there you will gain experience, find out if you really like the work, and can talk to the people working with you about their experience and thoughts.
Take biology and environmental studies courses to prepare you for this kind of career
