What would be a good major if I want to do something in the areas of animals, wildlife, and/or conservation?
Environmental science? Biology? Zoology?
I know tons of schools have environmental science and biology as majors, but I kind of wanted something a little more specific. Also, does anyone know of any schools that would offer something like that in PA, NY, or NJ? The closest I found so far was SUNY ESF as they offer a bunch of variations on environmental science degrees.
Also, is there anything in this field that does a lot of research rather than hands-on?
Thanks.

My ultimate dream job would be to raise orphaned animals (esp. lions) and reintroducing them back into the wild.
Do you think getting a major in Zoology would be my first step?
Read MoreI want to help in the conservation of the biodiversity. Which major do I want?
I want to help in the conservation of the biodiversity of animals.
I don’t know what the name of the career I want is, but I know what I want to do. I really want to do field research and study the population of a certain animal.
Should I major in conservation biology? Or should I major in zoology? Or something else?
Should I forget about minoring in chemistry? I enjoy chemistry and its easy to do. But would having that extra notch on my belt be a good thing? or a waste of time.
Do you have to pay to be a wildlife/conservation volunteer thesedays?
I am in my 30s and am seriously fed up with my current career. I am and always have been interested in wildlife and conservation. I am considering a return to university to study Zoology as a mature student. Before I do I would like to take a year out and I was hoping to go abroad and volunteer on a wildlife/conservation project. However, giving a year of my time, free of charge, doesn’t seem enough thesedays. The only volunteer programs I can find are charging silly money for short placements. So my question is this; Is there anywhere or any organisation in the world where I can volunteer to work with wildlife or on a conservation project without paying for the privilage? I am happy to support myself but thesedays it seems you have to be a spoilt little rich kid to help save the planet. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
