Introduction: My career of interest is wildlife biology. Wildlife biology is the study of living organisms such as plants and animals through ecology, behavior, physiology, genetics, and biology. The reason this field interests me is because of my love of science and all the animals and plants that make up the world around us. To learn more about my field of study, I interviewed Noah Brady, a researcher in biology, on June 27, 2016.
Education Requirements and Marketability: The minimum requirement for becoming a wildlife biologist is to “obtain an undergraduate degree in wildlife biology, general biology, zoology, ecology, or another related field” (environmental science). This requirement, however, is only for entry level positions. To progress past an entry level position in wildlife biology, a “Master's degree or Ph.D. will be required” (***). In addition to acquiring a degree, certification from The Wildlife Society is vital for entering this research field. In order to become certified, you must “combination of experience, providing

The career of a wildlife biologist is often guided by how much education and experience they have. A wildlife biologists that obtained a Ph.D. can “often lead research teams and determine the overall goals and pace of a project” rather than just being a part of the research. Noah Brady has experience with this type of promotion and stated that “advancement opportunities for wildlife biologists are numerous”. Brady was promoted “from being part of a research team to the director of one”. This promotion is not the only type of advancement, however, depending on where your place of employment is. Although Brady has not himself had experience with other types of promotion, he has colleagues that have been promoted from “working at a university to being hired as a professor and receiving
And subsequently, new policies and laws are created to give people equal access to wildlife. The question regard conservation is very much alive today. And United State needs conservation of wildlife. And the Federal department responsible for conservation, department of the interior are under attack with President Trump new budget plan. So it’s important to keep pushing for better laws and policies to protect
Wildlife Services predator control uses many methods and some of which are under review for change. Petitions have been made and many letters to the government and the company have been sent. Actions are being taken to reform this service for the better of ecosystems, livestock, predators, and humans.
Many dedicated and talented individuals have blazed the trail and numerous zoos, wildlife centers, and researchers worldwide have and continue to successfully implement training protocols and programs. Two individuals who are carrying the torch today are Karen Pryor and Barbara Heidenreich. They work independently and have slightly different training methods, but their commonalities show through with their success stories.
When I obtain an education in biology, I will be able to better impact the world in a positive way whether it be through research in medicine, or the discovery of new ways to improve the population’s food supply. Following my career path will allow me to give back to and benefit society as a
Many people see hunting and fishing as the slaughtering of innocent animals for no reason other than sport and fun. However, the truth is, hunting and fishing are beneficial to people, environments, and the economy. Hunting and fishing are beneficial to the economy because they cause a major economic impact. Hunting and fishing are beneficial to environments and people because they reduce damages done by wildlife overcrowding. Hunting and fishing are also beneficial to people because they provide a healthy, affordable source of food.

I have decided to do my Career Research Paper on Fish and Game Warden. Fish and Game Warden involve being with people and with the environment and trying to keep bad people from doing bad things. I have thought about becoming a Fish and Game Warden for about 3 to 4 years now. The reason I researched it was because I like to hunt and fish and be outdoors and I think this job would be perfect for me. After researching the career of a funeral direction, I have not decided to pursue this career.

Ever since the Pilgrims were introduced to the Indians, the deer was a big meat source for survival. They used the meat, bones for various needs, including sewing and the fur for clothing. The deer became an everyday hunted game. The decline of the deer population began.
The career that I chose to look into is Veterinary Assistant. This career is in the Veterinary Medicine field. A veterinary assistant is simply the assistant to the head veterinarian. They are a step below the veterinary technician, and work along side both the veterinarians and the technicians as well. They provide the more basic treatments to the animals, normally under supervision of the veterinarian. They keep an eye on the animals being treated, to ensure that they are comfortable. They assist veterinarians by preparing animals to be examined and prep them for any medical procedures. Vet assistants are also there to counsel the pet owners in difficult times and provide information and consolation to the owners. This position allows for
I would not mind going the extra mile and getting that four year bachelor’s degree to get a higher level job that pays more, if that is really what I wanted to do. I have a lot of experience with all different species of animals from going to camps, zoos, safaris, sanctuaries, and locally owned miniature “zoos”. I am also graduating next year and after that I am planning on going to college for four years to get a bachelor’s degree in biology. This will allow me to get those higher level position such as zookeeper, animal trainer, and marine mammal trainer. Even though I have a good amount of experience working with animals already I am more than ready to do some on-the-job training. This will help me prepare for situations I have never dealt with before and maybe even help me get to a higher level position. My outlook for actually getting a job is pretty high, so I might have a great chance in getting all the experience I need. In getting a job in the animal care or service working area, I would complete my all time goal of getting a job I love and working with many different animals I love. I will work my best to complete these goal to become an animal care and service worker so I can have a job and life that I am so passionate
As a kid, I went through many thoughts of careers that I Wanted. I wanted to be a cop because I would be able to help people and protect them. After a while, I lost interest in it, and wanted to be a firefighter. I wanted to be firefighter because they’re around fire and I loved fire at the time. When I looked into it more and more , I lost interest in it too just like being a cop. There were more careers than that I lost interest in, but there is one that I never lost interest in. The one that I didn’t lose interest in was me becoming a zoologist.
Imagine spending your work days traveling the world, swimming in clear blue waters, surrounded by beautiful and colorful plants and animals, saving our oceans. That sounds like a pretty great career to me. Creating new habitat for marine life, finding out how fish communicate, studying sea turtles, and discovering how pollution affects our oceans and how to save them: these only an iota of the daily tasks of marine biologists. 95 percent of our oceans are still undiscovered, and I think that it is so exciting to push the limits to see what secrets our oceans behold. I believe that marine biology is the right career for me because I have many of the skills, talents, and motivation to become the best marine biologist I can be.
