The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a Veterinarian. Veterinarians must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a State license. There is keen competition for admission to veterinary school. Education and training. Prospective veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. There are 28 colleges in 26 States that meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The prerequisites for admission to veterinary programs vary. Many programs do not require a bachelor's degree for entrance, but all require a significant number of credit hours-ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours-at the undergraduate level. However, most of the students admitted have completed an undergraduate program and earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants without a degree face a difficult task gaining admittance.

An entry level position at a zoo requires a bachelor's degree in one of the following animal science, zoology, conservation biology, wildlife management, animal behaviour which takes 3-4 years of university to complete. If your looking into caring for marine animals you will need a bachelor's degree in animal science, biology, marine biology, zoology, pyschology, plus have strong swimming skills and a SCUBA certification, which is 3-4 years of university.Chance of advancement is possible but rather limited. Being a zookeeper is not a glamorous, or even a high paying job. Zookeepers with limited education and experience start at minimum wage. A median salary for zookeeper is about $14 per hour or $28,00 a year. The top zookeepers can make more than $40,000 with benefits. You should have a love of animals.
