Kasey’s Answer
Helo! My initial professional experience was at an animal shelter, and it was an absolute delight for me as an animal lover. It felt like the ideal job. If you're considering a similar path but lack experience, I highly recommend volunteering at a local animal shelter. It's a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience in the animal care field.
Also, consider exploring job opportunities at veterinary clinics, either part-time or full-time. It's another excellent avenue to delve into this field. Additionally, local community colleges often offer animal-related courses, so it's worth checking out what's available in your area.
Remember, the animal care field is vast and diverse, offering numerous career paths. So, don't limit yourself - explore all the possibilities!
