Question: I want to work with animals. How should I prepare?

Answer: When I was growing up, I loved animals and took advantage of every animal-related opportunity that was available. I volunteered to help a veterinarian one summer and then got a paid job helping him the following few summers. I have also worked at a pet shop and petting zoo. I recommend reading everything you can about animals and volunteering at your local shelter, zoo, veterinarian's office, etc. There are a lot of wonderful academic programs available in high schools and colleges that can prepare you for a career with animals.
