Taking a Look at Ornithology

When I was six years old my mother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told her with a straight face “a paleontologist” at that age I knew how to spell and pronounce all the scientific names for almost every known species of dinosaur at the time and I also knew their feeding habits, habitats, period they inhabited. Fast Forward five years later my career goal had changed to a herpetologist, I envisioned myself treating amphibians and reptiles while performing zoonotic as well as conservative research. From an early age I was fascinated with animals and knew I wanted my future occupation to be involved with them but it wasn’t until I was a sophomore in high school that I was introduced to the possibility of veterinary medicine.

A typical day consists of arriving at work at nine in the morning at the latest. First she will go to her computer, and look at the census of all the patients. She figures out if there are any new patients since she left the previous day and go over who came in the night before. Then she has to know whose social assessment needs to be done because they need to be done seventy-two hours within the patient’s admission. She usually will keep notes on her desk on what needs to be done. Most days, she calls homeless shelters because some patients have to go there after they are discharged. If she is not calling a homeless shelter, there is always another place or family to call for patients. She attends a team meeting every day at eleven in the morning to talk about their patients and the best way of handling their situations. She meets with her patients and will do their social assessment. They talk about how they feel about going home or going to a homeless shelter. Some days she does family sessions in addition. Everyone being discharged needs a psychologist and a therapist, so she must make sure that happens as well. She does not have a lot of control about what job she will be doing during the day. Overall,

There are two levels of education for entry into this occupation. A 4-year program for veterinary technologist, and a 2-year program for veterinary technician. Both need to pass a credentialing exam to be licensed, certified, or registered depending on the state. Also it is recommended that in highschool you take biology, math, and science classes. Both veterinary technologists and technician typically work in private clinics and hospitals. Sometimes in laboratories, humane societies and universities. There is a higher rate of illnesses than the national rate, this being because workers could could get bitten, scratched, or kicked. This happens because of dealing with aggressive or scared animals. Many clinics are open 24 hours so with that being said some will have to work holidays or weekends. The clinic that I am interning at they are not open 24 hours, they are open from 8-5 Monday through Friday.

Their schedule is the typical Monday through Friday work days as well as traditional business hours. Most of their days are confined to their laboratory, where they are surrounded by dangerous body fluids and chemicals. Problem solving

Since 1961, Killer whales have been held captive in a tank for entertainment. Helpless whales get captured from their families and get forced to live in artificial social groupings. At least 56 orcas have been captured and are currently held in captive. 23 of them were captured from the wild, and 33 were captive born. At least 163 orcas have died in captivity, not including the 30 miscarriages held in captivity. As you can tell, killer whales have a great negative impact when their in captive.

Killer whales, otherwise called orcas, are the biggest individuals from the dolphin family and the top predator in their ecosystem. They are a standout amongst the most wise marine animals, particularly because of their intense faculties of sight and hearing. Their excellence has surprised people for years, yet for some orcas imprisonment restricts their opportunity and delight in life. It isn’t just harming the physical and psychological wellness of these creatures, but also represents a risk to coaches, yet individuals keep on profiting from killer whales.

Many people go to SeaWorld or other marine amusement parks to see these animals that they have never seen before for their own pleasure and wonders. Some people don’t know or care how these creatures even got there in the first place. Taking these orcas from the wild is depleting the population in the wild and it is killing them by keeping them in captivity. There is no way to mimic the ocean so that these animals can live comfortably and happy in captivity. Orcas do not thrive in captivity despite claim’s, they often suffer deadly physical, psychological, and social side effects. (My thesis-made up before I did my research)

They perform surgical procedures to treat and cure a variety of conditions such as tumors, blood clots, and traumatic injuries. This career is physically and intellectually demanding and requires excellent hand dexterity and hand-eye coordination and these surgeons must be capable of remaining calm and focused in life-or-death situations ("How to Become A Neurosurgeon: Education and Career Roadmap"). Most neurosurgeons work "on call" and do not have a specific routine for a typical workday. However, based on a standard "yield" of surgical cases from clinic, and a typical pace of clinic, a typical week might look similar to this: two days in the operating room, two to three full days in clinic, and rounds: in the morning, and in the evening, whatever time left goes to administration, meetings, QA functions etc. (citation). Likewise, according to an interview with a neurosurgeon, they perform surgeries three days a week and check up on patients and complete papers two days a week

Income can become a challenge for many wildlife biologists, as the average income for a wildlife biologist in America as of May 2015 is $59,680 per a year or $28.69 per hour according to U. S. Bureau of Labor. (Cite) Given that I will have to attend a university or college form a minimum of four years to eight years to obtain a bachelors degree up to a Ph. D. The average debt from a Ph. D. is which can cause substantial finical debt becsue of average pay. When you add in providing for a family or just for your self it effects your way of living. Being a wildlife biologist some jobs will require you to have physical endurance.

Killer whales, also known as orcas, should be released from captivity at SeaWorld. There are many problems with keeping orcas in captivity. Orcas become more aggressive, have a shortened life span, and are kept in tanks that are much too small for them, and for these reasons should be set free. Killer whales in captivity would have a much happier life if they were free.

Department of Labor ). Employment for vet technicians are also expected to grow over the next five to ten years by about 15 to 20%. For veterinarians working full-time, they typically dedicate anywhere from forty to fifty hours each week and average a mean salary of $95,000 a year. Vets fresh out of school average a starting salary of $65,000, and can reach up to $200,000 per year with qualified experience and specialization. Those who work in the national economy that is not under direct government control the national economy that is not under direct government control the national economy that is not under direct government control, as opposed to the government or schools, tend to make higher wages, especially if they have ownership in the practice.Prospective veterinarians must have at least two years of undergraduate training at a college or university before applying for admission to a veterinary college Veterinarians, also called doctors of veterinary medicine, study, treat, and control animal injuries and diseases. Much of the research currently being conducted by veterinarians involves studying the relationship between animal and human disease and how animal diseases are transmitted to

As referred to in “Zoologists and Wildlife biologists Ocupational” the median salary for a wildlife biologist is about $59,680 per year which is $28.69 hourly. The lowest ten percent earned less than $39,180, and the highest ten percent earned more than $97,390.
