Many of the young, aspiring wildlife biologists I talk to are jumping at the opportunity to get wildlife experience abroad. Unfortunately though, almost all of these opportunities are through volunteering and often volunteer programs charge participants for room, board, and other fees associated with the program. This leaves lots of aspiring wildlife biologists with questions such as...
Is it worth it?
Which one should I choose?
What will I be doing?
Will the skills transfer over to future jobs?
I talked with wildlife expert Matt Snider about his experiences volunteering and working abroad across Africa for many years now. We went deep into what these experiences are like, and even if you aren't considering working abroad, we bring up lots of points to think about when navigating your career and getting the RIGHT experience to get you there.
