Is a zoology degree worth it? Is it useful post-graduation?
My dream is to travel and work with critically endangered wildlife. Is zoology the right degree for this? Should I do biology or vet or conservation major instead? I feel kind of lost. I don't see a lot of jobs specify zoology degree, but they do say "related majors" which it probably counts as, I think zoology is just less common because it's not offered at a lot of places. Are there any other zoology or conservation students here who have any insight? Thanks guys!
