[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is very interesting and I hope you're still answering. I've noticed that most of the zookeepers are younger and I assume they switch careers at some point for all the reasons you stated. What types of jobs do zookeepers typically move on to? It seems like such a specific set of job skills that wouldn't transfer easily to other careers. Do most zookeepers focus on working with one type of animal? Like do the bird keepers only get the job after interning as bird keepers or can someone who volunteered with elephants switch to working with seals? Are there certain animal keeper jobs that are the most in demand? Like does everyone want to work with the pandas? What I really want to know is are there certain zookeeper personality types that tend to work with different animals? Like do the lion keeper jobs attract the Joe Exotic/Carol Baskin types vs. the panda keeper jobs? [/quote]
