Animal related careers are in demand!
According to the US government's Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), there will be continued and growing demand for animal services workers in the coming decades.
This demand will be driven by the predicted increases in the population of companion pets, as well as the increasing demand for animal services such as behavior modification and training. Good job growth opportunities are also expected for the pet sitting and dog and animal grooming industries as busy pet owners have less time to devote to their animals.
The animal health care industry is also experiencing rapid growth as more pet owners seek state-of-the-art health care for their pets. Veterinary, veterinary technician, and veterinary assistant positions are in constant demand around the country, as well as non-traditional care such as pet acupuncture and pet message therapy.
Our furry and feathered friends need you!
Maybe you don’t want a “career” at all. Many people just want to volunteer their time in some way that involves being around and caring for animals. Volunteering will also increase your chances of securing a job working with animals, if you so choose, as most employeers like to see real-world experience on an applicant’s resume.
Whatever your goals, pursue them with passion. A job working with animals probably won’t make you rich financially, but it can offer a lifetime of joy and fulfillment that more traditional careers can’t come close to.
