Working with Animals

There are many different careers suitable for people with a keen interest in animals. There are several things to take into account:

• Most work with animals is not well paid.
• In many jobs, you cannot afford to be too sentimental.
• There are many health and safety risks.
• The work many be smelly, routine and physically demanding.

Before setting your heart on a particular career, it is advisable to get some work experience and look into the entry requirements. For example, a veterinary medicine degree course has very high entry requirements so you would need to be good at science.
