The job: Zookeeper

You might like this job if: You like animals, zoology, biology, ecological conservation, saving endangered species, PETA-like organizations, developing habitats for non-local wildlife, and the shows on Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel.

The good: You get to help with repopulating some endangered species, and get to care for a lot of awesome animals.  It’s pretty much the only way that you could interact with pandas, rhinoceros, emus and lemurs all on the same day.

The bad: Just look at the picture below.  You’ll be cleaning a lot of that stuff up.  Because animals don’t have the same stringent devotion to personal hygiene that many people do.

Summary: A pretty fun job if you like animals, but you’ll have to deal with a lot of crap while you do it.

Rating: Three clips from YouTube of a sneezing panda that were just so adorable that you had to go to the zoo out of five
