You –what career might you be good at?

Everyone wants to be excited to go to work. One way that you can ensure that is to find a job that complements your interests, skills, and personality. Maybe you haven’t thought about that yet, but it’s never too early or late to start!

What makes you excited?

What do you find interesting?

What is very easy for you?

What is very hard for you?

If you find it difficult to think this generally, you can think more specifically:

• What subjects or tasks do you like at school or work?
• What news stories draw your attention?
• What kinds of things do you volunteer to help with?
• What things do you avoid doing at work or school?
• What kinds of things do people ask for your help on?

Use the links at the left to to search on specific skills, interests and personality traits that might help you focus on an animal related career. The information here has been collected directly from people IN THESE CAREERS via extensive survey data.

If you still need help focusing on what your interests, qualities and skills might be, there are free on-line tests that can serve as a starting point. Try a few and see if you relate to one or more of them. Most of the sites that identify potential career matches are not animal-specific, but it may still be helpful to look at them. Once you’ve had the opportunity to explore your own interests, personal qualities, and potential career options, you’re better equipped to determine which animal-related careers might best suit you!
