The Importance Of Pursuing A Degree In Wildlife Biology

By the time I am at least 20+ I will graduate college, keeping my grades high ,incase I do not achieve my goal of professional football. (Hopefully as I backup I could join the USMC to engineer all types of military vehicles.)

My short term is to advance in the field, hopefully moving up to a Recreation Assistant Supervisor for Durham Parks and Recreation or a similar role. I have learned a lot as a Recreation Specialist and I am well prepared to take this next step up in the field. Another short term goal of mine is to complete graduate school at North Carolina State University in the next two years; I begin next month with a major in Sports Management, Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Long term, I plan to obtain my CPRP certification and to eventually become a director of an agency. This has been something I have always wanted to do ever since undergrad. I know a position of this magnitude takes a lot of hard work and patience but I am confident in my abilities to make this happen.

I have dreamt of many goals that I want to achieve in the next ten years. Competing on a Chapter Conducting state team for four years led me to choose an educational degree in AG Communications. With an Ag Communications degree, I dream of pursuing a career in Sports broadcasting. The career, educational, and personal goals that I have set for myself will hopefully take me far in life.

My career goal is to become a Wildlife Biologist, I have selected this career because I have had the opportunity to volunteer with the DNR headquarters in my town. The past four years with putting in over 64 hours of field work doing a variety of different tasks. I have found wildlife biology to be my passion after tracking endangered turtles four years

Hopefully, I will able to accomplish my goals in completing graduate school, and becoming a Licensed Educational Counselor. However, if worse comes to show and life does happen, it is always good to have back up plans just in case. I'm very much looking forward to putting more progress towards my career goals.

Since I was a young child, I have always wanted to do something important. Although, at the time, my most important decision was what Disney princess movie I would watch that day. I aspired to be a strong, capable warrior like Mulan and to make a difference with kindness and compassion like Belle. When you are a kid, the world is at your feet. I carried the young mindset that I can accomplish anything with the magical wave of a wand. Now that I am older, nothing is as simple, and the world often seems out of reach. Despite the fact, my life is boundless and my dreams are limitless. In the future I plan to attend Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis and major in psychology. My goal is to receive my PhD and work as a school psychologist or a clinical psychologist. I aspire to help and encourage people to be the best that they can be, while doing the same for myself.

In ten years I can see myself out of college and working as a marine biologist. I always thought when I was younger that you were obligated to have your whole life planned out by the minute, but I didn't. A year ago I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was older. The fact that I finally have an idea about what I want to do is certainly important to me. I find this career so intriguing because it has to do with three of my favorite things; animals, the ocean, and science. With this career, I not only can provide for my family, but I can have fun while doing it. I will always be obligated to remind myself that by achieving this goal, I must need to work hard now and in the future. Every long term goal needs to have short term goals leading

In the near future, I plan on graduating from Scottsburg High School with a Core 40 diploma with Academic Honors. I also plan on completing my goal of making straight A’s in high school, and I hope to continue my goal of making all A’s in college as well. After graduating from Indiana State University with a major in psychology, I hope to be admitted into medical school where I can become a psychiatrist. After graduating from medical school, I would love to be hired at a VA where I would be able to give back to veterans who give up so much for our country and those living in it.

The goals for my career go hand and hand with my educational goals. Because I feel as though without education, I could not succeed my full potential of being an Officer in the Air Force and an Elementary educator. After High School, I plan to go to Texas State University and receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. I will continue my life to become an Officer in the Air Force. After, approximately, 21 years I will withdraw from the Military and begin a new chapter in my life to educating children. Overall, my destiny is to fight for others and become the best educator that the world may see.

I haven’t had many goals in life, but the few I do I plan to achieve. I plan to become very good at basketball, but I won’t join the NBA. I plan to make it into Postsecondary Education Opportunity (PSEO), and graduate with a Gates millennium scholarship, which pays 12,785 dollars on average. Those can all be achieved by the end of high school, but I have even bigger plans after that. I plan to become an orthopedic surgeon and attend either Harvard or Stanford. These are all big plans and I hope to achieve them all.

My career goal is to become a soil conservationist in the USDA and develop the skills to become a district conservationist. I hope to learn all aspects of the USDA and become a USDA liaison at a university and give opportunity disadvantaged farmers and students like those I received. In addition I hope to take the knowledge I have learned and develop my own business. Throughout my experiences I have learned your career will be a major part of your life therefore I want to enjoy and have an impact on what I am doing.

After graduating from college, I plan to continue my education. I want to strengthen my education and pursue my master's degree. I hope to travel the world and help those in need, especially in Africa, the Philippines and Asia. I believe in the use of other technology and help those in needs as much as possible. In addition, I would love to work in different professions in the medical field as a team and cure illnesses.

I plan to major in wildlife sciences because it propels me towards my career in wildlife veterinary science. During my first four years, I plan to study abroad in Tanzania and further my knowledge in wildlife animals and their environment. After I obtain my bachelors degree, I'm going to intern with an actual wildlife veterinarian. Then, I am going to attend Auburn's College of Veterinarian Medicine and receive a master's degree. When all of that is finished, I plan to own my own wildlife rescue center that resembles Noah's Ark in Locust Grove,

In the 1960s, there was a dramatic increase in the interest in conservation in India, driven especially by non-governmental Indian and US ecologists. The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) helped to set up an Indian branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in the late 1960s. Along with the Smithsonian Institute and other US ecologists, the BNHS also helped to organise the 1969 International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conference held in New Delhi. In the 1970s, the Indian government took over almost all responsibility for conservation from international organisations and scientists. At this point, the Indian Forest Service and all wildlife concerns were dealt with in the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1972, the Wildlife Protection Act was passed. This act included a list of endangered and threatened Indian flora and fauna, and laid out the criteria for creating and managing protected areas (like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries). It tasked the Indian Forest Service (IFS) with the running of protected areas and with wildlife conservation. It is also very much involved with lumber extraction contracts and controls the use of and access to minor forest products of importance to tribal or poor populations. The IFS is basically a combination of what would be the Forestry Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service and individual states’ department of natural resources in the United States (Lewis, 2005) .

Knowing my interest in this career field, I did an interview with a previous Wildlife Officer in Arkansas. My interviewee was Todd Calloway, a retired Wildlife Officer who worked for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for 32 years. He started working for AGFC on April 1, 1984 and retired on June 30, 2016. His interest in pursuing this career started at a very young age when his father/grandfather introduced him to the great outdoors through hunting and fishing. They taught him to respect the outdoor resources that Arkansas had to offer and that’s when he sent a goal to be a part of the AGFC. He got a degree in criminal justice and when he became a Wildlife Officer, he
