stunt man and filming of animals in other countries is not a job that you can just walk into. You'll have to work yourself up from a Production Assistant and then it can even take years.

Go to school and get a film or broadcast degree and intern with The Animal Planet or National Geographic. It's going to be a tough row to hoe - but if you're super dedicated and willing to work for not a lot of money for awhile, you can succeed.

As a soldier fresh out of high school, I did a lot of things in Basic and Permanent Party that some stuntmen do. I did obstacle courses, rappelled down cliffs, learned hand-to-hand combat, prepared for vehicle ambushes, fast-roped down Blackhawk helicopters, shot guns, threw and fired grenades, and crossed rivers and streams. I was also a professional assistant (gunner on an artillery crew), and a driver too (trucks, Humvees, and tracked vehicles), with radio experience and responsibilities.

Most of those jobs are in the Army. Plus you get money for your future education, and posting in other countries. Joining the Army was the only way I was ever going to see Europe, and I loved it! Not only do you see other countries, you live there.

You can always sell cars. That requires so little training.

You have to start small, like working on a crew that films animals. You can't just jump in it yourself unless you have the money to support it. And the equipment. If you have these things, you could always start doing it in your area and post them on the internet. If you develop enough of a following, you might be offered a job from an actual company. Or you could start your own and charge access to a website or something.

It really looks like you're very much interested in the movie/ entertainment industry.
You might want to look into going to film school. There are plenty of really good programs out there, probably one in your area too. There you can learn not just how to shoot a film, but also how to write scripts (also for animal documentaries) and how to go about financing a film.

Good luck!

Well, you'll need to start college right away then unless you opt for car salesman or delivery truck driver. Unfortunately you're probably going to have to work a "crap" job for awhile until your finished. That's life. Everyone has to start at the bottom.

much of what you want to do - you need additional college education.

and if you are so stuck up that you can't take a job like McDonalds to start - then you are going to have a harder time convincing an employer you should be hired. Especially since you deem certain work "beneath" you.

I hate to tell you this, since I know it's not what you want to hear, but unless you get a lot more education beyond high school, the "crap jobs" are going to be what's available to you.

well, if you wanna film animals...study zoology, learn about animals and then maybe you'll get a job with some company or zoo or something

what's your question??? if you want someone to pick an occupation the most realistic ones you've listed are truck driver, cab driver, or sell some cars.
