everybody loves animals except when it comes to the ones they're eating.
Hey Do a video on sustainability engineering, I think it is similar to urban planner, industrial engineering. It's new and up and coming. Would like to know alot more info. Biology and math related
Can you talk about a masters degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology?
@@xdior6650 He put psychology in one of the worst degrees I think he has personal problems with psychology hahaha 😂😂 Ah I remembered he talked about psychology too in another video and from what i remember is not anything good he had lily singh videos for the edits I forgot which one tho but idk about the title of the degree he usually just refer it psychology maybe its a whole maybe its not
I graduated with my bachelors in animal science! Wanted to be a zoo vet (extremely competitive, low pay, 12 years college, extreme debt) and right now I'm coasting as a pet sitter after working as a farm hand during college. The animal industry is kinda screwed up, where organizations think it's okay for people to volunteer/ intern and never have to pay them. The entire veterinary field is depressed because of the working conditions and pay grade not being sustainable (unless you own the practice). I want to open a veterinary consulting agency now to change the animal industry so no more volunteering/ interning is required in order to have "experience" and hopefully create better environments!
hi! I’m working towards a bachelors in animal science, and I know going to school to be a veterinarian is too much for me. I want to know what other career opportunities are out there after I graduate with just the bachelors. Like I wanted to work on a wildlife conservation or rehabilitation. Can you help me out and give me some insights on what to expect?
@@keniciaj you can absolutely do other things in the animal field, whether that's wildlife ecology, rehab, biotechnology, I even worked for the USDA in entomology units! I don't think that employees look specifically for candidates with animal science degrees, but it's broad enough to apply to tons of different areas
@@ReallyRayven omg! Thank you so much for this information. I’m so glad you mentioned entomology because I was thinking of getting a masters or PHD in that as well.
@@ReallyRayven hi! i’m from australia and after finishing high school, i didn’t meet the grade requirements to get into the vet courses here. instead, i’m wondering if i complete a bachelor of animal science, i will then be eligible to study the doctor of vet med? do you have any idea if this is possible? i really want to be a vet, but i just want to confirm that by completing the bachelor of animal science, i can apply for the doctorate? all good if u don’t know ofc! just thought i’d ask bc all the university websites are so vague
@@dyingflame1939 At my university, animal science and pre-vet were very similar, except animal science did not have a few courses like physics and advanced calculus that would be required to apply to vet school. You can definitely take animal science and then add on those few courses your junior or senior year if you'd like!
Animal science is part of the agriculture sector, so you learn a lot of skills regarding agriculture incase you are into it, like food technology(especially dairy, eggs and meat), pest management, crop cultivation techniques (mostly for growing feed), biotechnology etc etc. This wasnt mentioned in the video.
With such degree, you can work in big farms and companies that make feed and feed additives, in which case the salary is relatively good.
If you decide to start your own farm, you will be very knowledgable and avoid a lot of uneccesary costs. Usually farmers are in a bad economic state for 3 reasons: 1:depending on the country, the state may not subsidise the farmers enough. 2)food frauds 3)they dont know a lot of scientific stuff, which leads them to false decisions regarding herd management, hygiene, nutrition,physiology which again leads them to a lot of uneccesary costs.
Most common problems? students find it difficult or disqusting to work with production animals (which has the good money) and decide to work with pets and zoo animals. Also, most graduates arent knowleadge at all regarding important aspects of animal production.
I'm studying Animal production Engineering in my country (Venezuela) and my goal once I have my degree is to try working abroad gain experience and meet people in that world
Having a bachelor's in Animal Science works for me because the end goal was always to get a masters degree. The increase in pay and opportunities to help animals and people alike with a masters is way higher. If I had stopped at just a bachelor's, it wouldn't have been worth it.
What did you get your masters in and what is your job if you don't mind answering
what do you do for your career? i am currently in undergrad for animal science & am debating on a masters / vet school
@@olivia.nicole how many years would you spend in vet school after getting your animal science degree?
@@n.c.2687 in australia, the bachelor of animal science is 3/4 years depending on the uni, and the doctor of vet med is 3/4 years depending on the uni. so around 6-8 years is the average time it’ll take to be a vet if you’re entering it by completing an animal science course! :)
@@dyingflame1939 thanks
Animal Science is a field of agricultural science that is focused on farm animals, you cannot be a wildlife biologist/zoologist with this degree.
You have the ability to do either, zoology is +8 years college after your bachelors, wildlife and biology can still be applicable with animal science
No animal science graduates can apply wildlife biology 😂
You can still become a biologist with this degree..
Very good explanation Shane. Animal science majors don't have the luxury of being able to breeze there way through college and land into a solid job like other majors. A successful career requires planning from day one. As you said in the video, a lot of careers in animal science require advanced education and the bachelor level jobs aren't very prevalent.
My advice from someone who has an agriculture degree:
Get friendly with your advisor. Have at least two good internships if not more. Think ahead EARLY if the job you want requires a master's degree. If it does, start looking for a graduate assistantship EARLY. Or find an affordable program online that you can work off in a few years. Don't stumble out of the gate looking for a job that requires advanced learning if you don't have it. Plan ahead!
If you don't want to go to grad school, I would heavily recommend a double major. Pair it up with food science, crop science, precision agriculture, or anything marketable. If you don't land out in an animal science job out of the gate, use the experience from something similar to help benefit yourself the next time around.
Well said Chase. Thanks for watching
What's prescion agriculture? :)
Your channel has so much value Shane. Keep it up! ❤
I appreciate that!
Animal science, zoology, biology, my brain can't handle this 🤯🤯🙇♂️
haha. Too much to ponder Vito 😂
Thanks Shane I was thinking about taking a Zoology degree in college if I am not able to clear the pre-med exam but now I will fully focus on my studies and try my best to clear the pre-med exam as zoology doesn't seem like a great option anymore after watching your video.
Best of luck! You got this
@@ShaneHummus Thanks😊
@@ShaneHummus
Hi Shane. I would like to know if you would make a video about second bachelor or masters degree.
I feel like a lot of these points were very well made, however, there is a lack of information on the research side of animal science. Biomedical research using animal models (which typically it is hard to find information on as most people don't consider it an option).
My neighbor Bella is at NC state now as a Junior she loves it and she’s majoring in Animal Science
Thanks for sharing information about Animal Science Shane.
Any time!
How about a video on which countries offer the best work life balance?
I choose agriculture business because I wanted something different than business administration. However I loved history and am going back for a second bachelors degree.
Hi Shane, could you make a video on veterinarians? I have been questioning whether or not to continue with my degree because I don't know if it is worth it.
You'll need all of the scholarships you can get. Basically on average you pay like you're going to be a human doctor but get paid less in the end. Avg median pay is 90k. It is also very difficult to get in. How bad do you want it and why do you want to do it? Will you be willing to work long hours? I'm currently taking a break from school and working in research to see if I want to continue. Loans and a health issue is the main reason why I'm questioning.
He didn't do one that was in depth like this but he gave it a D in a Tier list:
ua-cam.com/video/7ZYZVtFT9lU/v-deo.html
Becoming a veterinarian is really up to the individual. You have to accept a large debt load that is not equal to starting pay. A lot of young people do not set up a financial plan to handle this debt and end up in ridiculous amounts of debt with no way to pay it back. Especially having to do a residency after schooling and maybe only making between $70,000 to $90,000 a year for $300,000 debt. It would really be up to you if you want to manage that debt load for your passion and accept the fact it will take you a while to pay off and it will affect huge life choices as you grow older. I am in the same boat as you considering vet school, but the debt load to me is not worth it. My financial stability is as important to me as enjoying my job career. I would weigh all of the possibilities and see which benefits you best. If you are thinking about the finances, you may be doing more then some.
thanks shanne for doing that video i really like agriculture though I want to major in crop science ♥ ♥
As long as you have a solid plan it should go well. Good luck!
@@ShaneHummus okay coz in African countries agriculture and mining are the back bone of their economy
I'm majoring in Animal Science so I get into Vet School.
In my country there's rivalry between Zoothecnics (Animal Science) and Veterinary. And as a AS grad, I do hope you fall in love with the course and don't change paths🤣
Awesome video bro! love today's topic. Animal science could be interesting but there are a lot of things to consider before getting a debt and pursuing a degree in it.
Well said!
@@ShaneHummus Good video , I really hope you reply me. Which particular degree will you suggest me in the agriculture field if I want to own my farm ( I am an african in the states, I will like to start my business in my country ) in few years to come, animal science or agriculture business?or etc? Thanks
Hey Shane, could you talk about getting a masters in occupational therapy? Also, if being a COTA is worth it? I hear that the field is now becoming saturated but I haven’t seen a lot of evidence to back it up. Thank you so much!
I might consider that Natalie. Stay tuned
The chicken on the dog leash caught me off guard 😂😂😂
I have a Bachelor's in Animal Science and I would say it's definitely not worth it unless you know exactly what you're going to do, like grad school or veterinarian. If you have any doubt, I would pick a different major because the jobs immediately available to you are too low for someone who worked to get a degree. If you want to help animals, you're better off spending two years becoming a vet technician. You'll spend less time on your degree and have slightly better paying jobs available to you.
I can speak on the research side of things as someone who has worked in research departments and animal facilities at universities. Jobs available to you after graduation with a Bachelor's in Animal science are technician jobs which typically pay $15-18/hr. Maybe if you have a lot of experience and/or can bs your way through an interview you can start out at $20-25/hr. If you can't manage that, you can move your way up after you land a basic tech job. (By the way, these entry level tech jobs are not glamorous at all. They're mostly cleaning, scooping poop, or routine bench work in a lab.) Anyway after a while, you will be eligible for position's that pay more like $30-35/hr. The highest paying jobs would be things like operations managers or directors. Those can pay around 100k.
I assume that most people that pick animal science want to help animals. One of the better jobs you can get is a vet tech at a university. You would work with a lot of species, but one of the most common are mice. Even without a license as a vet tech, you can get this job, as long as you have relevant experience working with research animals.
When applying for any job, keep in mind they will try to low ball and take advantage of you. For example, I've known vet techs that get paid around 30k, while another makes around 50k, even though they do the same job and have about the same amount of experience. Basically, know your worth and always try to negotiate a higher salary. I've even seen "Research Coordinator" jobs paying $15/hr. There's no way in hell a Research Coordinator should be paid that low. They really prey on naive people in this industry that just want to work with animals.
Another tip, ALWAYS ask about the working culture, work load, and how many people are working there. You need to look out for smaller labs/departments that only have a few people because sometimes they will expect you to do a lot of extra work and take on roles that aren't your job, but not pay you appropriately for the work that you're doing.
Can you please do one specifically for if vet school is worth it? The DVM is one of the most expensive degrees out there- I’d love to hear your insights please.
Shane can you do a video on whether engineering has become an oversaturated field.
That could be a good topic. Stay tuned for that
I’m glad I got a full ride. Didn’t pay a cent for my degree in fact I got checks back every semester 😌
i’m majoring in animal science so i can become an exotic vet. it’s been my dream job since i was a kid
So like a zoo vet? I want to get into working with zoo animals as well only reason not vet is because of schooling years and euthanasia
First one here ☝🏽! Btw, Shane, the background and the overall background look better 👍🏽❤️! Thank you for always responding to us and seeing what we have to say ☺️☺️☺️.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. These are the last few videos on this set. Next batch will be on the new set.
@@ShaneHummus Nice, can’t wait to see that new background setup!
Omg I so need your feedback on criminal justice majors! I recently just graduated college with an associates degree in criminal justice. My final goal is to go to law school but law school doesn’t require a specific bachelors degree ( as long as you get good grades) and I want to be able to work and gain money with my bachelors but I don’t know if to keep majoring in criminal justice! Is it too broad? Too little income? Idk PLEASE HELP! Love your channel ♥️
That video will come soon. Stay tuned for it Belkiss.
Belkiss, you can major in anything! Personally, I would major in something that offers writing intensive courses/builds critical thinking which will be useful in law school and LSAT exam. You want to be able to challenge and expand your mind. Refining your ability to focus on critical details, analyze facts and form an interpretation or opinion is crucial.
Hey Shane nice video! Could you possibly do an environmental science video? It’s in the same realm as animal science so they could be related
I'll take note of that. Thanks for the suggestion
Can u tell me what was the best career related to food science studies
Could you discuss maybe what a Futurism degree entails? It's highly uncommon and I'm curious!
Maybe in the future Maria

I plan on getting a bachelors degree in animal sciences and becoming a zookeeper.
You don't need to go to school for it, experience is key! Just work your way up at the local zoos and get certifications from San Diego
A lot of zookeepers say we need bachelors to get entry level positions though. If what your saying is true I wonder why they always mention that “you need a bachelors”. If you watch a lot of keeper vids you’ll see them mention that ALOT. But I hope what you said is true I might just get a zoo & aquarium science certificate instead of a degree lol

I wanna work in the zoo or study zoology it was my dream to take care of animals i was thinking to study it. I Don't mind having a low salary.
Hi I had a quick question, would you be able to become a veterinarian with animal science degree
what i know is you need a doctorate degree in Vet school .
If I studied my degree animal science can continue my MCs in veterinary?
My lecturer said you can't. Animal science is different with vet med
I believe no. Vet Med is an animal doctor, it can prescribe medicine, perform surgery and etc. Animal Science is more on the research side, nutrition, genetics and welfare.

Can a person with BSc in Animal Science do an MSc in Veterinary Medicine?
I need answers please 🙏. Thank you .
It would make sense that if you pursue Animal science for your bachelor, instead of taking Masters of Agriculture or Animal science, it would be logically better for your path to take Business school afterwards for your next step. For the reason you stated above, Farm Business is...Business. So when you wanna took holds on your Business and become a better businessman exploring other ventures while at the same time expanding your Business, Taking a degree on Business might actually helps. But reality sometimes took you on a different path, you can't really take Business School while at the same time making a living by being a busy entrepreneur. You still have something to love like working with animals...But the slap in reality was that You gonna run a Business enterprise.
I'm an Animal Science Grad, Currently in my country the Graduates were not that Saturated and i still got a Decent above average salary working on a poultry farm as a manager than my other friends who undergo different career path and now my Tax Rate shows that i'm on Mid-Upper class in my town...which idk if that's a good idea since more tax income which were biggest bollocks. I can only dream of getting $64.000 annual salary here lol, if i'm getting that ammount of salary in my city, everyone would've pursued that career path. Even General practicioner doctors don't get that annual income mid term.
But still, I'm not in the US so...yeah, I'm just making a perspective on my career path outside US.
Edit : No degree for me worth $40.000 i'd rather not taking any college lol, Since education in my country were not that expensive this degree actually comes at the lower left end heheh.
