    Bird Wildlife rehabilitator

    For the first two you would need a degree. For wildlife rehab you don't necessarily need a degree, but it would help greatly especially working for a large sanctuary rather than doing this on your own as more of a "hobby". All require hands on experience that you can obtain through volunteer work, internships, and seasonal paid positions.

    I don't know. But there are many places that keep birds (some universities have some centres for keeping birds) to prevent them from going extinct and also to do research on different bird species.

    I think the best way of finding out the different career choices would be to contact one of these centres in your area and volunteer with them for two to three months. If you enjoy working with birds, you should enjoy volunteering at these places also. After two to three or more months of volunteering, you will have met with staff in that centre and got to know their different educational backgrounds. Then you will get a better view of what the career choices are.

    I don't know where you live but this is an example of one of the places I'm talking about: http://www.birdvancouver.com/

    A vet which includes a high salary, RSPCA volunteer and Animal carer are just some of the career choices. :)

Flight attendants do nicely, too, financially. i've got heard it relatively is annoying to get a job as a flight attendant. i've got on no account tried by fact i'm scared to demise of flying, yet I relatively have a chum that does it and he or she loves it.
