ASPIRING ZOO PROFESSIONALS

An aspiring zoo professional is anyone who has decided that working with exotic animals is the right career path for them. You may be a volunteer or intern trying to get your first paid position. You may be a recent college graduate or someone looking for a career change who is interested in entering the zoo field. Aspiring zoo professionals are often folks who are having difficulty getting that first paid position or are finding themselves confused about how to even start on their journey.​
