I want to work with animals when im older, preferably at a zoo. But I can't choose what field that I want to work in.
Does anyone have any lists of jobs that someone can have at a zoo and maybe a description of the job?

You can be the guy who puts steak on a stick and drops it in the lion tank.

You could be a trainer, do animal enrichment, you could prepare their meals, work in the nursery, be a vet, etc

vet, veterinary technician, caretaker, trainer, zoologist

zoo jobs are VERY VERY hard to get, so make sure that whatever you choose to do that it has multiple options.  If you are a vet or vet tech, you can always get a job at a clinic if you cant find a zoo job.
