My Perfect Job

[maggies_lens]

1. Would involve animals in some way, in a GOOD way, for instance being a butcher; not a good thing!
2. Would involve photography
3. Would involve writing
4. Would involve being around like-minded people
5. Would not involve the transport industry in any way shape or form
6. Would not involve children in any way that required any interaction from me
7. Would allow me to live well. I don't need to be rich, just good
8. Would allow me to travel places
9. Would recognise me in some way as being not being a scum sucker bottom dweller
10. Would not involve night shifts unless it was observing something awesome like the rare Amazonian Night Walking Zombie Fish in it's once a year mating ritual which takes place in the highest Bwahbwah Naha tree on the first full moon of April and only when the Shadow Squirrels can give them a lift up there.

So, I believe I need to be either:
a. A Nat Geo hound
b. A writer
c. A photographer
d. insanely rich
e. in a mental house

An ecologist....

You basically just wrote out all the benefits of my job/ life in the bush studying animals apart from the fact we do lots of night hours but when you come home from a trip out bush you have time off to chill.

Sometime you should come up and go out in the field with me to see if you like it. I am always looking for volunteers, next year I'll be doing lots of research on possums :)

To get a career like this you would need to do a degree in animal science, ecology, wildlife science or something like that... Conservation biology even

One of these days I'll make an effort to post some photos from the past years trips, I get to see so many wonderful animals! It's very hard work but it feels good and is something to be 100% proud of :)

Please work for National Geographic just so you can be the first person to document the Amazonian Night Walking Zombie Fish.

Being insanely rich sounds good to me :)
