With the number of volunteer opportunities at animal shelters, zoos, and other animal care facilities, you can easily gain experience working with animals. You can also apply for a part-time or summer job at a pet shop while still in high school. Talk to pet store workers about their careers. Ask them how they broke into the field and what are the most important skills for success on the job.
