This video really helped me..
I'm a 16 year old kid, who has dream on becoming a wildlife biologist but confused on where to start.
At least now I know a little about the career itself.
Gracious ❤

As a marine biologist for a consulting company I feel this video aligns greatly with my experience. I will definitely be pointing new graduates to this video when they ask about career advice as you summarize things very well.

I would love to see a video about office work and maybe you can explain what you do in the office and how you analyze data? I'm currently volunteering at my professor's lab and helping organize the data and digitize the videos they collected from the field. It's monotonous and needs lots of patience lol.

Love your vids! I’m a massive animal lover currently studying to be a zookeeper and volunteering at my local animal park. I’d prefer zookeeping as a start to my animal career as I can be close to home and work with many different amazing animals in a more controlled environment. After a few years I might try and get into zoology or wildlife biology depending on if I want to work more in the wild. Currently I’m loving it and lots of people think I just clean animal poo all day which is totally wrong. Cleaning is just one part, I also get to feed, interact with them, do animal shows, help with breeding and train and condition animals and monitor their health. Glad you are loving your job as much as I’m loving mine.

I watched one of your Wildlife Biologist videos a while back and thought it looked amazing. I am currently working as a Wildlife Biologist and love my life. Thanks for posting these vids! Inspiring, truly.

Thank you for the clarification and insight on being a Wildlife Biologist. I was thinking about changing my major from just Biology to Wildlife Biologist because I want to be apart of the Wildlife Conservation career area. I am 1-2 years away from graduating with a Bachelor's degree.

Thanks for the great video! I'm going to college for biology: ecology in the fall so this is a very informative video of whats to come!!

This video is perfect. When I was in school, my idea of environmental jobs were such dreams and when I finally did internships I saw the reality. Now I’m a restoration biologist :)

Oh god that truck picture is my life this season... gotten stuck at the bottom of what looked like a well packed hill, but was actually a slick muddy hellscape, and drove a tire off a hidden edge at night, and had to get towed out. Accurate. :)
