Currently studying Animal Science At Charles Sturt University - Wagga Wagga.
Its pretty dandy.
Also work in a Chinese resteraunt.
Thats not so dandy but it pays the bills
 
But I'm off to Uni in year 10, doing a degree in veterinary science, and after that I might open up my own practice, specialising in reptiles. Whilst doing that I'll get a degree in psychiatry, when it's time for me to retire I'll hire someone to help me run my practice. Probably in either the US/Canada area, or England due to the fact that I already have an English citizenship.
I've given this alot of thought :lol:

How on earth do you expect to get into university in year 10.. let alone vet science? And I doubt you will have time working as a vet to do a degree..

We can all dream though!
 
i am a carpenter atm but looking at getting out of it as thers not much work out ther.. looking at police force or maybe firefighter :)
 
I'm a sales rep but don't have to take orders so it's a laid back gig traveling around having coffees and chatting with people.
 
I was thinking the same thing, typo?

I'm a full-time Uni student, doing Primary Education and loving it! Want to be your typical super-cool primary teacher for a while (think Miss Frizzle from the magic school bus;), then perhaps work as an Education officer at a zoo...would love to help build up the next generation of herpetologists :D

Anyway, that's the dream!
 
At the moment I'm stuck in hell, more commonly known as highschool.

It's good to aim high, but perhaps research a bit more to avoid disappointment, and speak to the career guidance staff at your school.

Have a look into what's involved in becoming a Psychiatrist - I wish it were as easy as you make it sound!
 
PhD dropout. Worked in medical research for 12 years, then retrained as a teacher (high school science). Volunteer dog training instructor at local club and trainer/volunteer in pets as therapy. Mum to two teenagers, two dogs and six pythons. Wife to Aussie alpha male. Never a dull moment!
 
Teacher - with a difference. I was in the classroom for 14 years but now I'm at an Environmental Education Centre where students come to us for school camps.
I also own a childcare centre and am an artist on the side.

Very true.. I read that as psychology so didn't mention it before.. If you wanna be a psychiatrist you will need to do a medical degree, become a doctor then specialise in psychiatry - probably 8-10 years study all up.
 
i'm a zookeeper at a small park. work mainily with mammals, most of which are native: ie Koalas, Wombats (crazy animals!), gliders, possums etc. but we do hav some lemurs, red pandas and tamarins who are awesome to work with!!!
Would love to move into reptiles or aqautic mammals, or both!!
Plan on being a zookeeper for the rest of my life, for me there is no better job!!
 
I am working as a vet nurse now but i have been a zoo keeper, dolphin trainer, navy for a year and a cook in high school.
I hold a degree in zoology and vet nursing,looking to go back and become a vet surgeon.
 
Bar Person for 16yrs, mother for 13yrs, pub cook nearly 12months, snake owner for 1yr and wanna be demonstrator.
 
Dropped out of school year 11 to busy traveling to study.

Finished year 12 at tafe did some landscaping whilst doing that

Moved to Sydney where I started doing some modelling and marketing.

Started uni part time doing bio science majoring in bio tech and now work for a travel insurance company where I am an accounts manager
 
did one yr of engineering at uni - couldnt decide what to specialise in so went to work for the family business (brisbane motor imports). Stayed there for about 9 yrs and ended up managing director after both of my pez retired - sold family business after i wanted to kill all employees and staff - took 11months off, which was AWESOME - now managing director of a similar business where my boss is in Japan and only one employee so thats good. Also have my sideline business of importing subaru parts which ties in well with what im already doing and keeps the funds rolling in ontop of my salary.

Still dont know what I want to do with my life but ill figure it out one day..... =)
