Ok,
I would rather not study germs/bacteria ect. I would like to stay in the herp feild. Before I go on, I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself, maybe that will help you guide me in the right direction... Lets see... Well I have always been interested in animals. My love of herps came at the age of 11. I have since been fascinated by them. My "childhood dream job" was to become a vet, and that is still an option. But I have since thought why I love herps so much, and part of that love is creating natural habitats for them to live happily in. I LOVE setting up a new tank or drawing sketches of what I am going to do with that empty 20gal sitting in the corner. Is there such a career that will get me the best of both worlds? I thought about being a "zoo-keeper" but not the low rank guy who shovels crap. I mean head of department of herps, (I know this takes time). Or maybe go into medicine and study exoitics? Maybe a be a vet for a zoo? I dont know I am just rambling on...
Thnaks again,
Chris D.
