Lake Erie Nature & Science Center

Wildlife Intern

May - August 2018 • Bay Village, OH

What I liked

It was a great experience for me to explore one of the aspects of a zoology career that I'm interested in.

What I wish was different

I didn't like one of the other interns. I wish he had been scheduled on my off days.

Advice

I think anyone else wanting to intern there should be prepared to be emotionally and physically exhausted. Wildlife rehab is often emotionally straining, but rewarding. And animal care can become a very physically demanding job.

Wildlife Intern

May - August 2018 • Bay Village, OH

What I liked

I liked the hands on experience I gained every day and all the animals I got to work with which included multiple species of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, and fish.

What I wish was different

I wish that it was paid so I had to work a second job, but it is very hard to find paid internships in zoology.

Advice

Be ready to learn on the fly and be prepared for anything.
