Competition is fierce for even entry-level jobs. Contact zookeepers, curators or directors at a nearby zoo for information about the field. Realize that a major benefit for a zoologist is being able to work with or for animals, not the salary. Understand that to make a higher income, you may eventually need to become a curator. However, curators do not have close daily contact with the animals.
Zoologists can create a second income by writing for journals.
