Hi everyone.
The last few years I've been on a break from school, paying off debts and trying to figure out what I want to go back for and do with my life. I've changed my mind many many times, but I always seem to come back to zoo-related work. I've finally decided that this is what I want, and so lately I've been looking at various schools and programs...mostly the EATM program at Moorpark College in CA.
I know we have quite a few people here on TFO who work with animals professionally. I'd love to hear from people who work/have worked in zoos or similar positions...what tips do you have for aspiring keepers? I'd love any advice you've got for me, feedback on programs, anything. I probably won't be starting school until fall of 2015, so I've got some time to get my ducks in a row.
Thanks guys!
