What is Your Current Job? (Or volunteer position)

[deadroses.]

It's definitely a lot of fun! It is a little troubling at times since where I live there are so many restrictions on which animals can be saved and released, but aside from this the experience is valuable



Very cool! Are you wanting to do something regarding rehabilitation for wildlife as a job?



IAh we do need more reptile vets! And working with venomous is awesome! Of course there are safety precautions, but that makes the experience far more unique. Something about the way venomous species act compared to non venomous is fascinating and incredible to observe in a contained environment. They are definitely my favorites to work with.



Right? Hahah! I just recently got into venomous species. I had the opportunity to actually interact with venomous keepers too and it's been pushing me more to be able to provide veterinary care for them. There are really a ton of venomous animals that people don't even know about. Then again, marine life. My love for the ocean and helping animals I know owners have a tough time finding proper vets to tend to them are dividing my heart.

I would like to study zoology or animal behavior in college, so basically anything to do with animals besides a vet lol

I think it would be neat, although it is not what I am focused on. I'd like to study animals, but also work on creature design for movies/games/etc, and getting to see the animals up close really helps with that!

Oh absolutely! Marine life is so fascinating and stunning too look at, I'd still love to see some in person! I'm captivated by cuttlefish and morays, they are awesome

That's really cool! Are there any particular animals you are interested in? I know you mentioned volunteering at a ranch but are there any specific branches of zoology you want to study?

Like game designing?! How cool! I have a cousin who went into game designing. She really loves it. I actually don't know much about it though. Do you know if you need intense schooling for that? How much demand there is for it? How much it can potentially pay? I'm hella curious now! Tell me more o:

As far as zoology fields, there is actually alot outside of being a veterinarian, which I had no idea. My best friend from Alaska actually told me to come out there to look into being a park ranger since they in abundant need where he lives. Apparently zoologists are hired as park rangers? Didn't know that. Also you can be police officer and work with marine life if you have knowledge in the field. Didn't know that either. Also a job I'd loove to have. Curious though, why wouldn't you want to be a vet? So many people tell me they wouldn't want to be one, and every time there's a new reason, lol. I always love to hear the pros and cons of being one people have.

I wouldn’t mind the euthanasia or anything, but I CANNOT do fleas, ticks, and maggots. not for me.

I'm Quality Assurance Coordinator at a videogames company.
My major is Software Engineering, and I always try to convince women and girls to join me in the videogames industry. ^^ Although currently it isn't in the best position, hopefully action will be taken soon and environments will improve.

However, this wasn't really what I wanted to do since I was young. I always played games and I loved them but I never expected to end up working on them. I actually decided to join the videogames industry at the end of my degree when I needed an internship. If I hadn't got the internship I would probably be doing mobile apps.
When I was very young I wanted to be a vet. But I grew up terrified of blood and unable to see animals suffering so it was impossible for me.
Before deciding on my degree I was between Performing Arts, Civil Engineering and Informatics Engineering.
My parents did not agree with me in my decision, but I'm happy I stood by it, as I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. They ended up being fine with it.

My long-term goals are probably to end up as Technical Producer or QA Director.

mine probably isn't as interesting as everyone else's lol, but i'm working at taco bell right now. full time currently because of summer break, but i'll probably change to night shift during the semester (that'll be so much fun....) for some reason, taco bell is the busiest restaurant in the whole town (being that it's opened the latest, probably) so everyday is sooo stressful tbh. but the days go by pretty quickly, and we get paid a lil over minimum wage, so i can't complain much. this is only my second job (my first was at a little pet store that sadly went out of business during the end of 2019) so i'm not super experienced, so this has been a real experience for
me.

i've been on the fence about what to major in, but my 3 top picks right now are video game design, fashion design, or some sort of biology (i'm super interested in reptiles/amphibians, not sure if there's a specific study for that.) i'm having such a hard time deciding because everything sounds so fun and interesting. i just wanna try everything!
