Yeah I graduated last year and of the 100 people or so that were doing zoology/ecology/conservation I think less than 10 are actually doing something in the field. Most people give up after a while I think or go back into education. It's definately the love of conservation that has to keep you going, especially when you see graduate engineers etc getting 30k in their first job a week after they graduate! Grr!
I'm in the same boat as everyone but I don't have as much experience! I can't afford to volunteer for a while as I'm working full time to fund myself though a p/t masters which also eats into my time at weekend so I can't volunteer then either! It will all work out eventually! Haha. |
