Zoologist is the best job ever and I'm so glad I decided to go to this job! I work with lions and lion cubs called Simba, Loxy, and Christopher and I think if you love animals it will be a real good job for you!
hello! seeing your comment was perfect because i really want to do this sort of job as well and have a few questions could i email you? thank you so much!
I've always loved animals and science so I can't believe that it took me till last year to find zoology. Most people I know don't know what they want to do but I have a really clear idea
I am having a hard time figuring out whether I want to become a Zoologist, Wildlife biologist, or a Marine biologist. All of which work with animals and do the things I would love to do, but I am extremely worried about how stable the jobs are that come with these degrees. Also, I am concerned on how much schooling you are doing to get into a job that is very low in pay..
well in the uk the starting salary is 21 to 25 thousand. After a few years is bumps up to around 30 thousand. And maximum 45 thousand. In my mind that is pretty good!
Be a zoologist. It pretty much covers the 2 said fields, allows for a larger array of research, and is quite literally the full package in wildlife research. Not to mention, the salary it gives out is also quite huge. Ranging from $63,824-$99,936 on an annual basis. So it’s more than enough for you to feed an entire family.
I have a BS in Wildlife Biology and MS in Botany ( as you can't understand the animals if you don't know what they eat and their habitats). You don't go into these fields to make money, you do it because its what you love. Working in a job you look forward to doing everyday is more valuable to me. I've taught High School and College, worked at a Zoo, worked in an Animal Research Laboratory, worked for the CDC, worked as a Field Botanist, as a Park Naturalist, as a Federal Ranger and Environmental Engineer. The job possibilities are endless and very enjoyable.
For years since I was younger, I wanted to be a vet, since my mum was a vet and also because I am a huge animal lover! :) but then when I got older, I decieded that vet job wasnt for me, and now I really want to be a zoologist! it seems the perfect job for me. :)
Yep, this is definitely my kind of career. I plan to get at least a Master's degree when I go to uni, I love animals and I'd love to research them, and I have good speaking and writing skills. Zoology here I come! Thanks for uploading this video, this does help me quite a bit in choosing what I'd like to do when I finish my schooling.
Hey, I'm pursuing a career in zoology...finally someone else who is also A phd is optional, a masters is definetly reccomended though. actually more like required. You mainly work with one type of animal, but I don't see anything wrong with working with more than one...And anyone who loves animals, this would be a great career. :)
It's taken me so long to decide what to do (i'm 23 . . ) for a while i wanted to become a veterinarian. I've always loved animals. But i also want to help protect wildlife. So i'm leaning towards this now. I am still a little lost however. I'm thinking of majoring in Biology (because I'm not 100% sure of if it is what i want to do) but I'm worried it's too broad of a major, especially if i can't use it for zoology eventually if i do decide on it. Should I go towards Biochemistry instead? (i would appreciate a little help!)
I know how you feel! I'm 21 and it took me a while too to realise what i wanted to do because i got pressured into doing a degree in law. How are you going to try and get on this career path?
Well, it would still be nice if someone gave me a few tips haha but I decided to go for Biochemistry (since I think it's a good base AND a plan B b/c Biology might be too broad and wildlife biology is a bit hard to get a job in from what i hear) I'm trying to find an internship (right now i'm looking into an aquarium here which has an aviary section as well) and will keep trying to do that to gain some experience in it and improve my chances of getting a job in Wildlife Biology when I graduate. Maybe I'll go back for a masters in it depending on how I see the job market and my chances. Yes, expectations and pressure from others makes it hard to decide as well, but I'm glad you seem to have decided (2 years younger than i am!) So, how are you going about it (I'm guessing you're going for Zoology/wildlife bio?)
Me too! im 10 and im already training to become a zoologist xD I know im gonna be one because 1,im very good with animals,i have been with them all my life and I don't know any animal that has not loved me,2,im already training,and 3,my cousin is working with the government,and shes gonna meet the president! shes like 21 or 22 :) so I know im becoming a zoologist :D
@@pininja4981 haha i'm eighteen now, update i'm not going to be a zoologist anymore lol looking at that comment is so bittersweet, i'm in college and i think i'm going to become a teacher but honestly not sure. i really thought i had my life figured out when i was ten hahah
Well, right now I am at college (uk) studying biology and environmental science at A Level, as well as doing some voulenteer work at a local nature reserve! I'm having a wonderful time, and hoping to get a biology degree at uni in the future. Keep your eyes on the prize. (:
This looks like what Animal Planet and National Geographic are always showing. I'm always curious about wildlife. i wanted to be a vet (but unis are usually 5-6 years and i need to be filthy rich to enroll there). But zoologist, if i'm not wrong, unis are usually 3 years. i'm considering studying in Massey Uni (in new zealand) zoology ... any advice?
I really wanna be a zoologist, but I saw the salary and it's not too good...I know zoologists aren't famous for their pay and I know one would do it because of love...but, is it enough to sustain yourself and even a family?
so a zoologist has like an adventure everyday and helps cool animals as well as maybe discovers many different types. I thought its was kind of only confined to a zoo but you can do zoo and outback national geographics nice. The skills would be similar to physiology , anatomy , microbiology ,biology,... applied to animals . The tools are not to complexed but they defintely have some dangerous situations as well as cool animals/sites excellent video would be cool to see those places
@TheNerdatron123 I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to be a zoologist, or an environmental biologist. But, you should pick a major in any of the life sciences, and your choice college has a zoology major- great. If not, major in biology, animal science, chemistry or any related. That should get you a good head start.
OMG I'm 13 and I wanted to be a musician, but I have always wanted to explore the world! I love exploring to different places on our planet and I love animals!!! I want to be a zoologist, especially a mammalogist so badly!
Well, if you're asking how science helps people, then I could type for hours. To give just a few examples, all those medicines you take when you're sick, the cars you drive to get to work and school, the heater that keeps you from freezing in the winter and the air conditioner that keeps you from baking in the summer, the computer you typed this comment on, the internet you used to connect to UA-cam, the power plants that produce the electricity you use on a daily basis, the water filtration plants that make sure you have clean water to use and drink, the fridge that keeps your food cold, the TV you watch watch whenever your favorite shows are on, the cellphone you use to talk to your family and friends, the GPS satellites that make sure you're always aware of where on earth you are, all exist and function properly thanks to careers in science and engineering. And that's only a small sample. Climatologists and conservation ecologists work to understand and protect our climate and wildlife from the negative impacts of climate change, neurologists and neuro-biologists constantly uncover new mechanisms within our brains that aid in the treatment of debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, geologists and volcanologists work 'round the clock to better predict and anticipate seismological events and eruptions, meteorologists look into ways to better predict disastrous weather phenomenon and warn people before they're at the mercy of things like tornadoes and hurricanes, pharmacologists find new ways to make better drugs to treat countless illnesses and maladies.... I could go on and on and on. In short, does science help people? I'd argue that, along with engineering, it's been one of the most dramatically helpful efforts in human history.
Looking into zoology as Im a student in college studying for a level 3 diploma in animal care (In the UK). For the zoologist job they all say that they go out and research animals n stuff which sounds a lot of fun but then what do they do with that research? Like do they create information websites or write journals or even teach it to students?
How many years of college do I have to complete? and I'm still looking for a best college to go to. I live in Florida. Also I want to start studying a little before I start College, so What do you recommend I watch and read to study up to become an Zoologist?.
If you can, go to a community college and save money the first 2 years with getting a liberal arts degree. Transfer to a 4 year school with a zoology program, make sure you have the pre reqs done. It would definitely save you money in the long run. That's what I'm currently doing now
@TheNatureVideos, Lol that would be cool, A lot of school is needed though, Like Im going to school for 4 years to become a biologist, then goin to school for 2-3 more years to become a zoologist.
I am looking to start going towards my bachelor's in Zoology & I'm very nervous I'll have a hard time finding a decent job. I need someone, with experience, to talk to & ask questions.
I understand more years are better, but would a bachelors degree be ok in this career, I'd definitely strive for a masters, but I just want to know how far I can get with a bachelors
Hi, I'm wanting to be a Zoologist or Herpetologist. I'm wondering, what should I take in College for both. Also, I'm curious about the salary for both (Just an average salary. I know it depends). And if anyone is experienced, I would like to know how a daily job is for the two. Feel free to give me tips or pointers. Thanks.
insect illuminati Get shrekt it depends on what animals you want to research which you can choose in your courses a big step is vertebrae or invertebrates
Hey everyone, I'm twelve and I'm irish and I really want to be a zoologist 😊 can anyone please give me some tips on what to study that will help me in the future? Thank you 😊😊
in highschool take lots of biology and other science classes relating to life science and such.. idk if you have classes like this in Ireland, but in case you do take all honors in science .. it will lead you to AP classes and tou wont have to take biology in college.. i did and its worth it, trust me..
Im 10.... idk y that was important but i would be more interested in studying reptilians and i think thats one pretty dangerous group because their reptile im pretty sure u can figure that out yourself or i would also like to work with mammals (Big cats,Wolves,Foxes) and i want to encourage people to help stop poachers and protect the enviorment and to stop bringing invasive species
