Some words for those who say "I really want to get into wildlife work!"

 

1.  There is the need to listen and learn. You may have read books or watched TV shows but this is reality.

2.   You will NOT make any money out of wildlife work and in fact you will find it can suck every last penny out of you.

3.   Always keep hard copy files. PCs and Laptops crash and lose all your data.

4.   There are some good moments when you get to help wildlife but.....

5.   It can be gut-wrenching, heart breaking and make you want to give up more often than you think possible.

Took me 50 years to learn those lessons.
