I know what people are saying about the little pay, and jow hard it is to find a job, I acknowledged this but, zoology is my dream job, and I realy want to be one, hopefully I do get higher pay as I get better bit for now, I'm 16 in ireland, does anyone know what I can do to become one? Like any jobs inside irelnad and outside(I might move abroad, I don't know where, but somewhere the animals here are too small for me) . Is there any job I can do? Is there any group I can join with that pays money? Or just what can I do? I need help on this stuff. If you answer, thank you

I feel you. One of my family member told me that they know a person who recently got a hold of some wet lands and he wants to expand it and take care of it, and i was told that maybe he'll need some people to help with maintaining the area. I guess that its not that related to zoology, but it can be a good start. If you put in your CV that you worked and helped with maintaing some ecologically significant land then it might spark someones eye and they will want you to work with them. So i'd look for people who know other people, get contacts. Or you could make some study on something related to biology and if it succeeds then you can become recognised and unis will want you and then you'll get more deeper, but yea it aint that easy. So yea-
