This will depend on what you think a good job is. Zoo veterinarians are on call 24/7 and must be available to handle emergencies over nights, weekends and holidays. Your patients are extremely expensive and in some cases endangered species, which means you have to be very careful to first do no harm and second try to maintain a decent quality of life. In many cases, the proper medical protocol for these species hasn't been determined, so you end up extrapolating from other species and hoping for the best. It can be physically dangerous as well as emotionally and mentally exhausting.
Having said all of this, zoo veterinarians typically love their jobs - they thrive on the challenge and the thrill of learning new information about exotic animal species. They tend to be pragmatic, hands-on and adaptable - I know of one veterinarian who ended up splinting a flamingo's broken leg with tongue depressors because it was in quarantine and that was the only material available (the flamingo turned out fine). You get to work with a dedicated team of passionate individuals and help to preserve the wild populations of the species you are working with.
A zoo vet divides his/her time between research and caring for the animals at the zoo. The research often includes analyzing biological samples from the collection (such as urine, feces, blood, etc) and comparing behaviors in collection animals to observed behaviors in the wild.
When an animal at the zoo becomes ill, the zoo vet is responsible for figuring out how to treat the animal. If an animal dies, the zoo vet will perform a necropsy and collect samples to learn as much as possible from the animal about the cause of death.

No, a vet wouldn't be a good move for you. Perhaps a pet store, humane society, grooming service or even working at a zoo would be options where you would see fewer animals in pain.
A zoo engineer's job can be one of two things. It can be the overall production of the zoo, or the train engineer.
Yes. A zoo vet is the perfect job for someone who loves wild animals! To be a zoo vet you need a Ph.D. from a college of veterinary medicine. Since these jobs are rare, it usually gets a nice salary. If you have anymore questions all you really need to do is Bing or Google "zoo vets" and I'm sure you will find all of the info. (=
It depends. If you are a good vet you should be able to have a stable job. But if your patience (pets) are cured by what you are doind to help them.
