Major in Wildlife Management?
Answer:
Classy Lady: I admire your goals and your choice of a major. Without being disrespectful in any way, I urge you to consider that there are probably more jobs for English majors than for wildlife management majors. And everyone knows what you CAN'T do with an English major....
Here are some jobs that you could do.
Work as a naturalist at some sort of park or "safari".
Work for your state's Department of Natural Resources
Become a Park Ranger for the U.S. park service or your state
Become a forest ranger or wildlife manager for your state or the U.S.Department of Agriculture.
Become a Wildlife Officer or Fish and Game Ranger or Officer
It's not a really hard major. But..there are people out there that really love doing this sort of thing. The job is very rewarding. As a result, there is a lot of competition for the available jobs. Most of the jobs are government jobs and rate low on the GS scales. You'll lock in at a low pay rate and won't advance far in pay.
It will help to get a job if you can have a second major with it. For example, Law Enforcement or Business. Maybe even Recreation. Something that can give you the edge over someone else with a less full resume.
you can also work in a zoo or wildlife sanctuary.
wildlife biologist
animal scientist
ecologist
forester
zoo keeper
aquarium keeper
thats just for a bachelors degree.
