Check out the US Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook. They have a lot of resources online http://www.bls.gov/oco/ (You'll need to click around)Its a great resource for people thinking of starting a new career.

Well, you need to figure out what types of animals and what exactly you want to do.Do you want to clean them, take care of them, etc? Zoo keeperDo you want to protect them and monitor them? Work on a wild life preservationThere are SO MANY different jobs which you can go into. The best thing to do is to not narrow it down to a specific career yet. Wait until you know exactly WHAT you want to do with them

I suspect that it is a bit early in your education to start specializing. Take yor time. As you take more and more courses in zoology and other sciences, you will refine your interests. You may decide that you love chemistry or hate it. I hated it and steered away from the lab sciences. The same goes for math, statistics, physics, botany, and the myriad branches of zoology. In my case I developed an interest in biostatistics and taxonomy and was steered toward teaching. A couple of degrees later and a dozen years of teaching and I wound up as an ecologist. You have to stay flexible.
