Career Goals
Education for Career
To be a zoologist I would need a degree in biology. Biology is mostly the study of life. It has many fields that you can specialize in. Almost every college offers a degree in biology with different fields. A degree in biology can lead to a variety of career opportunities. I could work in labs, universities, the government or private companies.
Some careers in biology require a Master's Degree or Ph.D. To be a zoologist I would need at least a Bachelor's Degree. Then many years of experience in the field also. This would include on-the-job training.
My plan to become a zoologist includes the following. Right now in high school my plan is to get good grades. And I would try to get a job in the local animal shelters or veterinary clinics. Then as I get in my junior and senior years I would apply for scholarships to get into a college that specializes in my degree. Then I would first my bachelor's degree in zoology then my master's degree. Next I would find a job as a zoologist.
