High school students interested in a career in zoology should ensure they have a good understanding of the basic sciences by taking courses in chemistry, biology, and physics. Mathematics, computer science and English lessons would also be helpful. If you have a bachelor's degree in biology or zoology, you may be able to get a job as a field or laboratory technician. With a master's degree in biology, zoology, or a related discipline, you may be able to gain some discipline, you may be able to obtain certain research positions in government or industry, or you may become an assistant to research with a university zoologist. Zoology research is usually carried out in a laboratory or in the habitat of the creatures being studied. Depending on the job, the zoologist may need to spend several weeks or even
