Colleges close to SeaWorld

[Cody]

I'm a sophomore in high school right now, but since I first visited SeaWorld at age 6 I have wanted to pursue a career in marine biology or animal training (leaning toward animal training). I was wondering if there are any colleges near SeaWorld or Discovery Cove that I could get a low-man job (like in a gift shop or something) until I graduate and apply for a job at either SW or DC. Can anyone help me?

Sorry don't know anything about local jobs but I presume you have had a good look at Sea World's job site?

I expect you already know that you can do trainer for a day at Sea World? http://www.seaworld.com/seaworld/fla/sp_trainer_for_a_day.aspx A bit expensive at $389 but at least you'd get to find out whether it's for you or not.

Or, try here for a list of colleges in Orlando http://www.florida-colleges-universities.org/orlando-colleges.htm but I can't see any relating to marine biology.

Don't forget that Sea World is also in San Diego and San Antonio so there are other choices if there's nothing suitable in Florida. Try here for colleges in other locations of USA http://www.search4careercolleges.com/?affiliateid=606
