Dolphin trainers train the dolphins at places like sea world. They teach dolphins multiple tricks, which they then show in front of crowds.
To become a dolphin trainer you need to be a good swimmer, and a good speaker. You are tested in both of these, by swimming about 120 yards and swimming without taking a breath, and public speaking microphone tests.
Previous experience might be a must in some places. A degree in one of the Biology fields will help e.g. a degree in marine biology, wildlife biology, zoologist etc, however these are not a must.
Dolphin trainers also do hard work, cleaning after the dolphins, cleaning the tanks, feeding the, fish and all other sorts.
They do not get paid much, so a natural love will be more rewarding. They may only get about $20-35000 a year. I'm not sure though, so don't take this to literally.
Hope I helped :)
