Even if you do spend the time/money going to uni it doesn't guarantee you a job with animals.
I have a zoology degree and there isn't that many jobs around in the zoo keeping area and occasionally when a position does get advertised there are literally hundreds of applicants. Most jobs in that field are with Environmental Consultancy places etc where you don't really get to be hands on with animals - all report writing etc. And if you want to be a researcher out in the field you generally have to do postgrad courses such as a PhD.
In NSW you have to volunteer with WIRES for relocation/rescues.
