An excellent advice. In the field of environment and conservation, it really is hard to get in without a degree. But if you pick up on something as a hobby and push the wildlife aspect as suggested above, this might be the best idea. Might take a while for the career to blossom but definitely an easier and passionate route unless you want to go to school and spend years before the career change.
