This Weeks Questions:

Jacob: Do you ever deal with feeling like you're not doing enough or are chasing an impossible goal in your work? Sometimes it feels like no matter how many resources we provide or how much education we do the end goal still seems out of reach. What do you do when/if you have those feelings?

Jason: Were there any deciding factors for you all when deciding on internships between non-profits vs local/federal government agencies? Or were there any early opportunities you wish you'd pursued instead?

Andrew: You share a lot of advice for someone who wants to get into conservation and working with animals. But what about someone who is older that doesn't have the time to go back to school/volunteer as much as a young person. Do you think its feasible/ have you heard of people getting into it later in life?

Leonard: Follow up to Anthony's question (dream job), if you had to do a job that had absolutely nothing with animals, conservation, or any of your duties at Alveus, what might it be?

Jaiden: hi! i’m going into college for environmental science, and i’ve always wanted to do something with animals. what would be a good place to start regarding getting experience and/or internships? i would love to do some conservation work or something in the field of wildlife biology. thank you!
