Answer 2

I had two kids go through college on Zoology. Both worked in Zoos for at least a while. One married a vet doctor and she is a vet assistant. She is working for her masters and want to go all the way to a doctor degree. Zoology covers a lot of area and you must want to know about animals all over the world and also learn Biology. Biology is often the subject that people have more trouble with because of the need to learn scientific-names and details about plants and animals that normally you might not be interested in learning. Are the subjects tough? It is not the easiest to learn, but far from a medical doctor, chemist, or some fields of engineering. Easier subjects would be in business and the liberal arts. You might get somewhere in business with hard work and good grades, you will not get too far with liberal arts per say. So, depending upon your interest and memory ability Zoology can be tough or easy. In comparison with other subjects, it is about the middle in difficulty. Unless you go on to higher degrees or marry a vet doctor, you are unlikely to make much money, but you will love working with animals at the local Zoos, vet assistant, etc.
