Career Pros Details
  • Working with Animals. If you have a passion for working with animals, becoming a zoologist is a great way to do this. You can work with specific, exotic animals which you otherwise would never have an opportunity to interact with in this way.

  • Job Satisfaction. Zoologists report a much higher-than-average rate for job satisfaction. This is probably due to the nature of the position. People who go into zoology are often extremely passionate about it, and so they are happy when they reach their goals.

Career Cons Details
  • Extensive Education Requirements. Most zoologists hold doctorate degrees in a related field. This is in addition to a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. To complete these, they need to have completed extensive research in a specific area.

  • Difficult Job Market. One frustrating part about trying to become a zoologist is that there is not a huge turnover, and jobs can be difficult to secure. This means that you can go through all the education and work to be a zoologist and then find yourself having a hard time securing a position.

Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin, in full Charles Robert Darwin, (born February 12, 1809, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England—died April 19, 1882, Downe, Kent), English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies. An affable country gentleman, Darwin at first shocked religious Victorian society by suggesting that animals and humans shared a common ancestry. However, his nonreligious biology appealed to the rising class of professional scientists, and by the time of his death evolutionary imagery had spread through all of science, literature, and politics. Darwin, himself an agnostic, was accorded the ultimate British accolade of burial in Westminster Abbey, London.Darwin formulated his bold theory in private in 1837–39, after returning from a voyage around the world aboard HMS Beagle, but it was not until two decades later that he finally gave it full public expression in On the Origin of Species (1859), a book that has deeply influenced modern Western society and thought.
