What jobs are there in the animal science/agriculture field?

I'm thinking Zoo worker. Lots of animals, and lots of teaching to people visiting. Maybe also lots of help-the-vet type work. Beyond the conventional municipal zoo, there are also the animal parks, like those owned by the brewery. I don't think there are many farms which risk a diversity of animals anymore.

Here, take a look at this: http://www.ncsu.edu/majors-careers/do_with_major_in/showmajor.php?id=83 The section on the bottom has some examples. Note that "research technician" can include a lot of things depending on what you want to specialize in (e.g. genetics, nutrition, physiology...). If you are looking for schools (in the US), the land grants with veterinary programs generally have good animal science programs.

Look on the agri-business side. A friend of mine was doing middle-man stuff selling to distributors I think and he was making $100K+ right out of college. Kansas State University has a great agriculture department.

Get a biology undergrad/grad degree...if vet school doesn't work out there are many ag jobs with chemical or large agri companies...you can work with developing foods for the farm animals, which will require some hands on work too...good luck
