Answer 1

well, to work with domestic animals you can:
be a vet nurse,
about 10,000 starting a year (first year in training) and full weeek,may require a 24 shift
then in your second year of training you can earn up to 10 - 16,000
and 24 hour shift at least once a week.
its a hard job, youll have to love it.
or work with horses. there are many options, you can qualifiy for one thing and further it and get more money, for example, i m going to do a course on vet nursing and two years later, qualify of equestrian nurse vets.
take care xx

Answer 2

For the best money, I would say become a vet-however there is a huge business aspect to that that a lot people aren't prepared for. Study science and math.

You could start now to work on a dog training business and if you like it go into behavioral science.

I would do volunteer work at rescues and kennels and find out what kinds of work you like best. When you are older, you could get a part time job at a vets and a doggie daycare to learn about that.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Anything you do with animals you will need a strong background in biology. As far as money, the best paying job you will get is vet but that is harder to get into than a human doctor.
