How can an engineer get a job in Discovery Channel or National Geographic?

Hi Fellow IITian! Dear friend, I am glad that you are brave enough to admit that you love nature and not the Multiplex-Mall-Bar-Disco Jungle. You would really have a good and satisfying life ahead. However, I would like to ask you a very important question. Why NATGeo or Discovery? How many forests have you visited on your own? How many plants/creatures have you collected as a kid/teenager? Do you like biology/zoology/botany? Do you believe in Darwin's theories? Sorry, I didn't stop at one question but I just couldn't resist!!! Another question...Is it about the fame of appearing in NatGeo or Discovery? Or Is it about the money/lifestyle which you are dreaming about? Sorry for asking so many questions, but you need to get over the Indian mentality that you "are this" therefore you are entitled to this & this" ..... If you already are working on nature/wildlife ... I apologize .... You just need to find few key people at NatGeo India/Discovery India and show them your work...Pitch and get hitched!!! Hope this helps!!!

Getting into Discovery or NatGeo doesn’t always need you to be an expert in Wildlife/Nature. For example, a finance/sales guy can also get a job in an IT company in their respective departments. So you should first look for a post where you fit in to apply in Discovery and NetGeo. If you are lucky and get a chance, you can join and go for your passion in there.
