I love to travel, explore, and have fun. I would go anywhere in the world. Some times i think about doing something like Jeff Corwin. I know he is a wildlife biologist but if i do do something like that then i would like to have my own tv show, like him. So i could show the world.....not only on books and newspaper. I do not want to do animal photography, be a writer, do genetics or anything to do with marine animals. I've thought about being a vet, wildlife biologist, or a zoologist (some work in zoos but i dont want that)...etc....I want something adventurous and fun....not to be stuck in a lab or a building studying. Im more of a hands on person. I dont mind studying...especially when it comes to animals. Could you please help me? Im sooo clue less of what to do. Could you please tell me whats the most fun, exploring, adventurous animal job you can think of and why? That would help tons...Thanks! :)

I have a similar aspiration, which is why I earned my degree in biology, emphasizing on zoological sciences. The idea is nice, but there is far more hard work involved than what you see on television.
The earlier recommendation of searching aza.org is good. Also, check certain state and federal postings for any job openings or volunteer work. It will also help you understand the not-so-enjoyable side to this concept.
Like I mentioned earlier, get a degree. A Bachelor's in Science has more clout with employers and prospective interested parties than not having a degree at all. The same can be said for higher levels of degrees (Masters, Ph.D.). Also, really look into what area of zoology you want to focus on. Jeff Corwin, Steve Irwin, Michael O'Shea, and Nigel Marvin don't know every single species on the planet, but they either do research or focus on what they specialize in. It would be best if you did the same.
I wish you luck.

Guess what, you're going to have to study first. And then, when you think you've studied enough, you'll have to study some more and if you're really lucky and passionate about whatever you choose, you'll still be learning until you die at hopefully a really old age.
Jeff Corwin attended Norwell High School. Later he attended Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in both biology and anthropology. He conducted his graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, obtaining a master of science in wildlife and fisheries conservation and doing work on bats and snakes.
What he didn't do was think "I think I'll go on tv" and next day find himself on a wildlife programme. Look under the iceberg of what you want to be and work out what it is you need to do to become the tip of the iceberg.
Good luck.

I would suggest wildlife biologist...that's what I do and I specialize in Ornithology. I originally was going to study big cats, but discovered the great thing about studying birds is that they are found ALL over the world not just one or two continents. Studying birds will allow you to travel worldwide. My work has taken me to 16 states... including Alaska where I studied birds in the Arctic. Do a search on Ornjobs for some good seasonal bird work if you are interested.

certainly except you're taking photos or get sponsors for a scientific learn its going to be extremely troublesome so which you may get money to shuttle the international, you're unlikely to get a television instruct while not having experiance interior the feild (which will contain books and newspapers) you need to evaluate a occupation in perhaps zoo administration, that's basicly basically looking after the animals and preserving issues working yet i do no longer think of which would be as glamours or interesting as you desire it to be

www.aza.org will help you find a job that is best suited for you. there are study abroad projects you can do for school. A great school for botany is Weber State in Utah. Two great schools for ethnobotany is U. of Hawai'i and U of Wasington.

Why did you change your name and ask this question again? You've already asked it once in here and once in the biology room.
