You could work in a zoo or aquarium, in a wildlife rehabilitation center, in a non-profit, in a national or state park, or with a company that provides goods or services for animals.
Many of these positions require a bachelor’s degree with a science background; courses in biology, chemistry, and zoology will be helpful.
Some positions that involve advanced study include zoologist, marine biologist, and veterinarian, but you can obtain a junior level position for some of these with a bachelor’s degree (for example, junior zoologist or biologist).
