You know what they always say, never work with children or animals… but today we are saying the opposite. If you love kids and you love animals, there is a whole wealth of careers out there which can be perfect for you this year. Today we are going to take a look at just a few of the careers you can enjoy if you want to work with kids or animals.
Midwife
If you look at the picture above and you just melt inside instantly, chances are that you love babies or puppies… or both. For those of you who love babies, there is one career which trumps the rest and one which you should absolutely consider this year for yourself: a midwife. You can take an nnp online and this will allow you to become a midwife and share in the first moments of many babies lives. It is one of the most amazing and rewarding careers of all.
Animal rescue officer
If you see those animals charity programs on TV and it makes you cry every time, you could look into joining the good fight yourself and work for a local charity to save animals who need your help. Animals are beautiful creatures and a lot of people leave them abandoned or abused. You could be the one who saves them and brings them back to health before finding them a loving home. What could be better than that?
Petting zoo owner
If you love animals and you also love children, and you can’t choose which you would rather work with… why not work with both? The beauty of opening a petting zoo is the fact that most of your patrons will be small children and this can make it an ideal career for you this year. Children and animals together can be amazing and you’ll be able to spend all day with them every day. When choosing animals for a petting zoo some good choices would be pigmy goats, pigs, ponies, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens.
Animal roadshow
One of the wackiest career ideas you could try out this year is taking your own animals and bringing them to schools and youth groups to teach children about them and let the kids get up close and personal with them. If you have a lot of pets yourself or you work for a pet store or conservation group, it can be a great idea to bring some animals such as snakes, rabbits, hedgehogs and insects along to schools to teach children more about these creatures. It means you get to spend all your time with your animals and also with kids.
Conservationist If the health of our planet and our wildlife is important to you, one of the most rewarding career choices you can choose this year would be to become a conservationist. As a conservationist, you will be able to spend your days saving animals in the wild and making a real impact on the world around you, and you might even be part of a group which saves a species.
