Most wildlife rehabilitator jobs are volunteer positions. You can find a few places that have paid positions but I doubt if they pay very well. I've been a volunteer wildlife rehabber for 13 years. I have a bachelors in Biology and work part-time at a nature center. I teach kids and adults about the native wildlife, take them on hikes for observation of species in the wild. I also do live animal demonstrations using the wild captives that the center has. Most nature centers that have captive animals have a paid person to care for the animals but they do not make much money. If the nature center could hire me full time the pay would be OK but they only want demo people part-time. Natures Centers usually run on a tight budget and rely heavily on volunteers. Our nature center also has a couple of paid staff biologists with Masters degrees. They have been working their job for many years so make enough to do OK. I suggest you get a Masters in Biology. You can do field or lab research and study certain species. A Masters degree will allow you to get many different kind of jobs that pay more money.

My sister works at a pet day care / boarding place. Also, you can usually volunteer at Humane Society type places doing dog walking and stuff like that. Or maybe a pet store.
