I breed, raise, and train bird dogs professionally, and own and operate both a canine products line and a small hobby level game bird hatchery as my primary sources of income. I also strive to make sure all of my hobbies turn a profit so I maintain various different ventures from time to time and enjoy my reptile and plant collections.

I do contract work for supermarkets. The work ranges from filling up a store's make-up or gift card stands, to setting up branded cardboard displays, to changing a store's DVD or book charts each week, it depends on the individual store or client, you rarely do the same thing in two different stores. There aren't many hours in it though, so I am on the hunt for a new job.
I'm a legal editor for a large publishing concern

I was in your shoes 20-25 years ago, loving the animal biology world and all that goes with it. If you want to continue in this sector I really recommend you get some work experience, voluntary one day a week to put on your CV, show the competition you are the real deal. Please feel free to pm for advice.
I'm doing a placement year next year, which should help a ton.
I have sent you a pm in case I can be of any help, Kelvin Britton, retired Biology teacher and Zoology graduate.
Hello.
I study International Relations at the State University of Rio de Janeiro. In the future, I intend to become a diplomat in Europe or Africa.
Strangely, in Brazil, public universities are the best anyone can attend. Of course, there is the Pontifical Catholic University as the main exception, but it, as I said, is one in thousands.

Out of interest, did you pursue a career working within the zoo world?

I'm full time zoo manager/paper pusher/listener to complaints/shoulder to cry on/paperwork procrastinator/ruiner of lives because I ask people to their jobs and it's just not fair. I used to see animals daily but sometimes I only see the rhinos as I walk to another meeting. Today I saw OMG OMG OMG a tiger. I am confident in my identification because there's a picture of one on the wall outside my office and the sign at exhibit said "tiger". I just finished looking through 39 performance reviews, let me gouge my eyes out. But so fortunate that I've spent 40 years in zoos, mostly with animals and I still love zoos, albeit the rose-tinted glasses fell off a long time ago. I could have spent my life polishing brass door handles and cleaning up drunks' vomit in a hotel which I did for a two months in a summer job in high school............

Ask me again in a few years 
Funny how the job we think it will be, morphs into something else, that's partly why I ws pleased to give up public Parks department work and go into private practise, I still end up doing odd jobs for clients, but usually interesting things, rather than seeing to staff and sorting out people problems, I can be feeding the sheep, walking the dogs, seeing to the chickens, and that is just for one garden.!!
