Answer 2

A BA is a good starting point. You can apply to graduate school and get training in field research, or seek internships to start getting exposure to see if field research is interesting. Use summer internbships to explore options.
Zookeeper (1) Wildlife officer (2), wildlife film making (3), go to veterinary medical school (4), or fish & wildlife (5) -to work in policy level you will need an advanced degree.

Answer 3

Depends if you're happy to move, there's loads of places in Africa, Asia or South America that have wildlife reserves or safari's. It'd mean you could work with amazing, completely wild animals and they would have acres of room to move and run.

Answer 4

First, if you're not already in university, I'd go for a B.S.; they have more credibility in the scientific community.

If this is something you're considering, I'd talk with a career counselor at the university you'll be attending, to see what preparation you'll need.

If it's a degree you already have, then you need to talk with the placement service at your alma mater, and see what you can do with the degree that would fit in to what you want to do.

Either way, good luck!
