Does anyone know what subjects you have to study to be a vet or a Sea Worl Dolphin trainer?

Question

Just want to know casue i want to be a vet or a Sea World Dolphin trainer when im old enough :-D

Answer 1

You need to study Biology or animal science to be a vet. For dolphin training animal behavior or psycology is good, as well as biology. I know sea mammel trainers need to be SCUBA certified too. If you can, volunteer at a local zoo, farm or shelter. The hands on experience will set you apart from other candidiates going for the same job. I knew some zookeepers and they recommended the hands on experience in addition to your college degree. It may also help you make some connections, which never hurt. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would advise Marine Biology for the Sea World trainer. Try looking at OSU's DVM program to give you a guideline what to study for Vet.

Answer 3

Marine biologist or zoologist along with things like you're PADI, scuba diving. Then specialise in dolphin habbit and study. It's also a great idea to go on study trips and conservation issues.

Answer 4

You would have to take science classes in college, including biology (with labs), general and organic chemistry (with labs) and usually physics as well. If you are serious about working at Sea World, you'd do well to be an expert swimmer, and be comfortable in a wet suit. It would probably be good if you had experience training animals (do you have a dog?) and working with animals in general.
