Hi,

I was wondering if there's still communities or maybe tribes that lives with animals, not as their pets or anything, but more like an equal relationship ? Like the Mongolian reindeer people for example... Thanks for your help!

what is your degree? what was your first job in science? what are you doing now?

Hey, I graduated in may at Ohio state university with the degree of animal science in bachelor. I've been struggling to find a job and the only ones that been accepting me is animal tech. Currently not interested into doing masters, I cant swim myself in more debt. I'm starting to feel hopeless about this degree and not sure what to do, any jobs that you know of or insights would be wonderful.

I was thinking about going to UC Davis to get this degree because you get to be around animals. I especially would like some time around farm animals. Chickens are my favorite. I loved having them as pets. I'm not sure if I have the right idea about this degree so I'd love some info from people who pursued it already. Is it a farming degree for giant farm jobs or is it more broad? Do you learn animal welfare, behavior, etc. ? Is it a vet degree? I don't know if I want to be a vet. That is a lot of schooling. Also does a bachelor's in animal science require a lot of math and science because the highest I've taken is algebra and oceanography lol and it might be hard for me but I'm willing to try

Hey, folks! I graduated BS Agriculture, Major in Animal Science back in 2019, and got my Professional Agriculturist license the same year, but I didn’t put it to use since I’m already working in a dairy farm here in Japan. I really, REALLY want to pursue masters once I finish my contract here (because I don’t want to work in a farm forever) but I’m not sure what to pick yet. I’m thinking of Agribiotechnology or anything related to Biotech, but I’m also open to any fields related to environment. I also consider picking Microbiology but I’m worried that it’s not directly related to Agriculture :// I need help. Thank you so much in advance!

hi, i’m 24 and i have a bachelors of science in animal science. i’m currently a vet assistant/technician for 2 years now. i applied to 11 vet schools but i did not get a singe interview for one of them.

since i started my position, i’ve learned that it is a toxic work environment. the training is not great, they threw me into tech work so quick. i have not gotten a raise since i “moved up”. and the more i work there, the more anxious i feel. working there made me honestly love vet med anymore. i still am passionate about animals and all, i just think i’m burnt out from working there.

is there any other jobs out there where i can work with animals and not be so stressed everyday? should i try to get my masters in something animal related, such as animal behavior? im not sure on what to do and i need some advice

Hi! Looking for advice on actually finding jobs to apply to

I just graduated college with an animal science degree and live in the Boston area. I did find a part time job in an avian cognition lab but its mostly cleaning and feeding the birds, and its only 1-3 days a week at $15 an hour- so its not enough to live off of, and doesnt give me all of the experience i really want (I love the lab, i just wish i was helping a bit more directly with research itself and/or actually experiencing some work out of lab as well). (also i got this job because i emailed the researcher 6y ago and have continued to email her, and then asked if she had job openings once i graduated and she has been extremely supportive and is the reason i decided to go into animal science)

Whenever I search on google/indeed/etc anything with the word "animal", I get vet, pet sitting, or petco-type jobs. When I add behavior to that, it doesnt change. Ive looked at specific colleges but its entirely just research techs that care for the lab mice for the xyz non-zoology/asci research that they do, and nothing with actual animal research. The aquarium, zoo, and Mass Audubon werent much help either. The Animal Behavior Society only has 3 listings and none are near Boston.

I know Ill be hard put to find an animal behavior specific job other than the part time one I have right off the bat, but I was hoping to get more experience doing animal research with someone- or in an animal conservation job. Even something that is animal care but for non-pet or lab animals (like the zoo or aquarium) where itll be a new and different experience

Any suggestions on where to look or people/organizations to reach out to that may be helpful?

Hello I’m currently studying animal science. I just want to ask if specializing in meat science offers great opportunities.

Please let me know what you think about this specialization.

Hey y’all! In a month i’ll be graduating with my B.S in Animal Science and still don’t know what to do with my degree. Therefore, for people that have a B.S in Animal Science, what type of career path did you decide to pursue?
