Hi there! I'm digging this site.
I've got a few questions. I'm a 20 year old from New Zealand, and I'm currently playing 'catch-up' with my maths and chemistry in order to get into a University Biology program (didn't take any sciences/maths in highschool). For as long as I can remember I've always been facinated by wild creatures and, from a young age, I'd always run off in search of them during any hiking/outdoor activity!
It's my dream to be some sort of field zoologist who spends a lot of time in the outdoors (including harsh enviornments) in order to carry out research/collect data. Could someone please give me some advice on things I can do aside from studying which would increase my chances of aquiring such a position? Does anyone here do such a thing/have done it in the past?
Cheers for your time.
AJ
