Animal Care at Marine World?!?

How can I get a job just taking care of the animals at sea world, or at an aquarium? Just feeding, etc. That is not the same as a trainer right?
Answers:
You will need a degree in biology just to get your application for such a slot seen. I would really suggest an advanced degree in marine biology in the case of a place that house mainly marine fish or in Ichthyology for a place that houses mainly freshwater animals.

I agree. They have such high demand for people who want to be handlers (not even trainers) that they take people with bachelors degrees in biology. Many have also attended a special school for exotic animal training/handling that I believe is located in Moorpark CA. Even then, it is competitive.
