Hello every1, am an undergraduate in one of the states university and my dicipline is Zoology. I am proud of this great course I have chosen but sometimes just like some students we get discouraging words from people. Words like ' don't tell me ur studying animals'. 'When u graduate where will u work? A zoo?' Etc. I always feel bad(then) until I carefully studied my departmental handbook. So I wish to share with the intending students, undergraduates and even our senior colleagues.
A zoologist studies several aspects of animals namely the origin, behaviour and processes of life.
Our field of specialization includes:
-morphology
-taxonomy
-genetics,
-zoogeography,
-embryology
-entomology,
-limnology,
-fisheries,
-marine Biology etc.
Carrier opportunities include
-Science writer/Editor,
-Medical illustrator,
-Forensic Scientist,
-Molecular Biologist and biotechnologist,
-immunologist, etc.
This means that we are not restricted to work ONLY at the zoo.
Like I said I saw all dis in my departmental handbook; I still wish to know what awaits a zoologist in the labour market. Apart from being a lecturer. I'l" appreciate comments, criticisms as well as ur experiences
Lalasticala pls do the needful

Personally, getting a degree with a mindset of working for someone afterwards is a waste of time. I quit thinking like that several years ago.
