Michael West Webboard User Reg: 05-23-2007 Posts: 551 Loc: Washington, USA Offline	Alright so its time to start looking at continuing my education, and what i aim to do out side of the military in a few years. Two things i know, i am not interested in going into law enforcement and then being a street cop until i can get into the K9 Section, and the other is i like working with animals. I have come to the realization that i don't need to be a K9 Handler for the police to work a dog. In all actuality, i really want to go to Alaska and take up dog sledding (no experience with this at all.) Through this line of thought i thought what better to be then a Park Ranger, or something along those lines. I am interested in working in the forest, and interested in working with animals. So what exactly would help me as far as collage goes? Zoology? Forestry? Something completly different? As Always, Thanks. Michael.West "Everything flows down leash"

Her background is zoology. Teagan!

Michael West Webboard User Reg: 05-23-2007 Posts: 551 Loc: Washington, USA Offline	Another few things that have been tossed at me are Biology Ecology conservation biology wildlife science I got a glance at some classes for Zoology and it mostly seemed that they where studying animals at a biological level rather then studying the animals them self. Or did i read wrong? Just going off of the names of the degrees by them selfs Wildlife Science seems to be what i am interested in. Michael.West "Everything flows down leash"

But you are a valued member, of course, as are so many others; let's leave the question and ask for PM answers.
