Working With Animals

[neep_neep]

I worked part time in a pet shop for a few years and came out with a qualification in animal husbandry. Pet shop pay isn't particularly good, but in my case I got a free qualification plus experience! To be fair, it's a really rubbish qualification - half the stuff in it was wrong anyway..Had to have one set of answers for the exam, and a set of proper answers for the customers It's not really relevant to what I want to do now, but it was fun at the time.

Miffikins, how are you funding your MSc if you don't mind me asking? I would love to do one, but have no idea where i'd get the money from! I'm trying to get straight onto a PhD, but I fully expect that students who already have an MSc will take priority... and there are only two MSc courses i'm interested in which offer a potential bursary. But even then, that's still competition based! Gahh, if only money grew on trees...

I'd love to work with animals/Herps,only the wages working in a shop/ nursing ect would not match what i'm on now (which is arse)
