Pros

If you are looking for an enjoyable job where you get to educate the public about animals and science, Wild Science is a great option. No two days are the same, in a new place every day. For someone who loves animals and science, it does not feel like work, and animal well-being is always a high priority for everyone in the team. In response to other feedback, the owners took this on board and implemented a new pay structure, so we are paid more for longer days.

Cons

Sometimes there is more driving than I would prefer, but you do get paid travel bonuses. As you are on your own, it can become lonely at times.
