Description
If you can think of a career that involves working with animals, there is something about it in this book! It is so informative! Loads of additional resources let your student explore further. Asking specific questions of the reader gets them thinking if one career or another is going to be a better fit. Reproduction, general health, conservation, military/police, photography, endangered animals, farming, breeding pets, and so much more! I especially loved reading first hand accounts from professionals and reading about their careers with critters. What a wonderful resource for animal enthusiasts of all levels, from the cuddly to the scientific. My oldest son grew up with a love of pets and numbers. Today, he is in grad school for bovine genomics – cows and data. Who knew? My other son has two big dogs and treats them like family. The impact of animals on our kids surfaces in all sorts of ways. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of So, You Want to Work With Animals?
Do you remember what career you dreamed of having when you were a kid? Right up there along with firefighter, doctor, and astronaut, you'll find veterinarian as one of the top kid's dream jobs. This usually stems from that childhood love of a beloved pet or even the adventure of visiting the exotic animals at the zoo. But there are so many other careers that are focused around animals that kids don't know exist.
Covering industries from domestic and exotic veterinary medicine, wildlife protection and conservation, farming and fisheries, research, and even animal training and handling (like police dogs), So, You Want to Work with Animals? explores what these jobs are really like—the fun stuff, the hard stuff, and even the gross stuff.
In addition to tips and interviews from professionals in the industry, So, You Want to Work with Animals, includes inspiring stories from kids who are already working with animals, activities, a glossary, and resources to help kids on their way to a successful and fulfilling career.
