Hey everyone I've been doing some soul searching, and figured out if I want to be happy in my life I need a career that I truly enjoy. And I believe my love of animals(Especially bears) and nature and the forest/woodlands, is the field of work I need to try to get into. I want to ensure that wild animals are healthy, and also that their homes are protected from humans.
Can anyone suggest some CAREERS that I could get into that link to my interests? I've thought about park ranger but from what I've read they only get paid like $11 an hour, and I would like to one day start a family, and there's no way I could support a family on that. I've also thought about park police but due to knee injuries I can't run therefore couldn't pass any kind of police academy.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me? I am an Army veteran so I have my GI bill to pay for schooling if anyone suggests any kind of training etc.

You should look into getting a wildlife biology degree. Most big state schools have a wildlife program, and even with just a bachelor's degree there are lots of jobs with state or federal wildlife agencies that would get you working outdoors with animals.

You could be a animal trainer. Many people like having this job because you can have fun and work at the same time! You could also be a worker/trainer at Sea world if you like animals in the water.
Zoo's are great places to work to because you can experience different animals!
