• Question: I sort of want a job where I study animals and conservation. In the wild. So I actually travel the world and study their lives. Any suggestions?

      One of my friends does this!

      He works at Rhino Conservation Parks in South Africa.

      He is doing Environmental Science at University. He didn’t go to uni until he was 21 because he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do and he didn’t get good grades at A Level. He’s do really well now, though!

      He worked at a zoo for a bit which gave him the experience he needed.

      He volunteered for lots of things, which is how he ended up in South Africa. That’s what I’d recommend – go volunteer at any local wildlife places, like a petting zoo or whatever.
