Jobs for Herpetologist?
i would really enjoy being a herpetologist and was wondering what are some job for that and how would i get paid
Well unless you enjoy your own TV show or a PhD with a job teaching at a state university... you're gonna be one broke dude.
Herpetology is not impossible to tell apart as keeping reptiles as pets. The science of it all is quite boring to some. Buy a used herpetology textbook off www.Half.com to seize a heads up about the field.
Work on your salesman skill and own a pet shop. You can be rich approaching the guy who owns LLLreptile.com
If you want to make a living as a herpetologist, practice adage "Do you want fries with that?"
What you might be able to do is to get a position that allows you to work next to amphibians and reptiles part of the time. Teaching and environmental consulting are possibilities. Pure herpetological positions at zoos and museums are hard to come by. Once you reach the top of your grazing land, you might be able to get a university job as a herpetologist.
My 13 year old daughter has needed to be a herpetologist since she was 8!! Currently, she volunteers at a local reptile rescue center. You could see if there are any essential you. Or an aquarium. Good luck.

Answers: am i the only one who think the answerer who goes by the name of (insert name here) is a cheat? he claims to be a professional hockey player, a veterinarian, a herpetologist, a reptile breeder, the owner of a reptile store, and that he owns a large house out in the country. in one interview he asked, he says he hates snakes, but in another answer, he claims to specialize contained by snakes. he says he has a phd in herpetology but claims to be 24 years matured, which makes me wonder how he did 8 or 9 years of college already. and despite his being 24, he has a 19 year infirm son according to the following question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... many of his answers prove he's not a herpetologist, especially when he have to ask simple questions about leopard geckos. my guess is he's a little kid living at domestic with mom. sorry for the rant, i just can' figure why society need to boost their own ego by making things up about themselves. no one is impressed. whether you want another laugh, look at the next link where on earth he argues with AlexD saying he wrote the caresheets for russiantortoise.org, but she proves him wrong. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
he has immediately changed his name to gavin because he knows everyone is on to him.
I am a herpetologist and i only got it by going to college and getting a PhD and right now the best path to do it without being taxed or anything is to start any by volunteering with reptile centres or owning a reptile shop.
Hope this helps and apt luck being a herpetologist its a fantastic job near wonderful oportunities.
P.S to get this qualification you need a strong science and math background. Most individuals focus on a distinctive field such as ecology, evolution, taxonomy, physiology, or molecular biology, and within that field ask question pertaining to or best answered by examining reptiles and amphibians.
