Ok this is very premature. DD1 is 11 and wants to be a zoo keeper if thats what you call it. Basically where she can care for a breed of animal at the zoo. We live very close to the Western Plains Zoo although I do believe its very difficult to get a job there unless its in the kiosk. So I was wondering if anyone knows what steps she could take to maximise her chances down the track? Although her mind will probably change (its never has yet) is there anything she can do as she gets older to help her get a job there over others? She has asked me what uni degree she has to do. I wouldn't have a clue but I do want to encourage her to go for it if thats what she wants and point her in the right direction.

She has been nagging me to do that WIRES course for years now so she can take in injured animals etc but I don't think she is old enough or has the time with schooling to do that.
