Become a professional expert, get paid like a cashier.
Animal Care Technician in Burnsville:
Pros: I love working with and learning about animals of all types and their care. I love teaching others how to ensure their new pet gets the best care possible in order to be a valued member of their family for years to come. I love working with and teaching others who share this passion.
Cons: There is always too much work to do for any one person. You can work like a superstar, but if everyone else isn't pitching in and doing the same, it won't matter, won't make a difference. The pay is ridiculously low - a grocery store clerk gets paid more and doesn't have to have nearly so much training or experience, and doesn't have to work nearly as hard. If you're looking at this kind of job, do it only because you love it - there's really no other compensation.

Lots Of Standing, Hot Environment, Repetitive Tasks.
Animal Care Technician:
Pros: Working with the animals, having the satisfaction of ensuring their health and well being.
Cons: Having to be in 88-93 degrees all day due to heat lamps, being on my feet all day, draining work.
