I'm in the same boat you are, just a few years older. I am currently in college majoring in animal sciences, maybe that is something you can look into. Many zoos hire zookeepers with no college education, but going to college definitely helps your chances. If you are interested in going to vet school, your best option is to try to find a veterinarian in the area who will let you work for him/her. Vet school is harder to get into than medical school, so your grades need to be top-notch. If you want to go into an animal field other than vet medicine, grades are not as important as experience, but still try to do as well as you can.



In any field with animals, the most important thing you need is experience. Get as much as you can. Volunteering at an animal shelter is a great idea, if that is what you want to do right now, go for it. I had an internship last summer working in the medical lab of a humane society, that was an incredibly informative experience.
