I've want to be a Trilobite since preschool… Giant Isopods are pretty cool too.
I mean, let's say the ornithologists are deliberately trying to scare off newcomers because they don't want the competition. That means it really must be a difficult job to get into.
I used to be a boiler operator, I've never heard a boiler operator try to scare someone off from becoming a boiler operator. Steam power is still one of the most efficient ways to power a lot of industrial machinery, so you can get a job pretty much anywhere. Same for welding, a good welder can always find work somewhere.
I've heard from lots of nurses why you shouldn't be a nurse, but it was never "It's hard to become a nurse and get a job," it's always "Being a nurse is a difficult job."
Perfect job for Zach is shooting at birds so they don't land on a toxic lake that was a former mine. A wonderful mix of ornithologic conservation and guns.
Be the reverse of Audubon! Save birds and NOT hurt people!
I did light reading on the guy zach wa talking about and he did alot also what zach said about him studying alot was more that he was tutored and was the assistant to alot of the doctors and by "did alot of drugs" he was addicted to cocaine and morphine and according to Wikipedia which could be wrong but I have no idea if it is he got himself addicted by using the drug on himself to see if it could be used as a anaesthetic
In the UK, we get Pied Wagtails that literally just wag their tails up and down, cute little birds
well now you can indeed identify as a dinosaur, and you'll be called stunning and brave.
My brother is an historian.
From finishing his doctorate to landing a permanent paid position with a University took 14 years.
All jobs before that were research contracts for 1-2 years at most, so he was working AND job hunting at the same time for a decade and a half.
The permanent job involves teaching history at college so he essentially learned a career where the only decent job in it is to teach it, thus perpetuating a cycle of 'why bother?'.
I also said Velociraptor!
So have campfires story’s in Skyrim now 😂😂😂😂
Jesus, I feel young. Thanks Zach!
FOUND IT!

So either he changed his profile picture.
Or this was the universe specially baiting ME as a person, as a shoebill stork is my 3rd favourite animal.
So to see another human even know they exist was wild😂
beeeedoooobeeeedooooobeeeeedooooo and i could picture it lol
Lol for me I said I wanted to be scooby do so yea i basically wanted to be a talking dog when I grew up from then
AU where we have Dr. Hazard
Ro-ro
Rotate your owl
Yea, I wanted to get into making games, eventually wanting to work for one of the big boys, Blizzard or Bethesda. After doing the research I found the same things that Zach did. A bunch of people just saying "Don't." And seeing how the video games landscape became in the last few years, I'm glad I didn't.
In an alternate universe there is a version of Zach that goes on long rants about birds instead of guns.
it used to be easier to become anything,
So Zach loves birds…and guns? Interesting combination…
I feel your pain zach i wanted to be a fire lookout. Sadly my dream job dosent really exist anymore
In a alternate reality, Zach has a job working around shoe bills
Zach got dangerously close to understanding the truth of birds. They all were killed during the cold war and replaced with spy drones. No living birds exist today.
"Betoo betoo betoo betoo" My new favorite sound effect 😀
As a History major close to graduating I can pretty much say Zach is right lol. Ah man I'm so screwed for doing what I like someone plz hold me?
Anytime I see “Zach the…” in the title I become so happy.
Is that a fucking shoebill !?!?
Ornithology is a fun field of study, even if they overhaul the taxonomy literally every year. My Ornithology professor in college cool.
But realy, if you're going to study Ornithology, its best to do so via a different field, like ecology, management, and conservation biology, and specialize in the ornithology aspect of it, like the people who study game management and specialize in waterfowl.
Heck, Waterfowl research actually has a lot of money going into it and lots of amateur opportunity thanks to groups like Ducks Unlimited and the Audobon Society. If you get really good at identification, you can even volunteer at "wing-bees" too!
As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist because I really liked sharks and the deep ocean.
0:36 jokes on the teacher, Zach has a velociraptor costume in his closet
Ah yes a fellow bird need birds are such interesting creatures I've always loved them and I've been around them my whole life basically I think my favorite is either pitohui the shoebill or the Carolina chickadee
At least Zach’s interest was real animals, when I was a wee tot I wanted to be a “Cryptozooologist” and spend my time studying monsters like Bigfoot and Unicorns. Now Im a cringe ass illustrator.
Unfortunately most science degrees are hella competitive
Being a historian be like…
Reject ornithology.
Become an ornithopter.
I want chickens to be used as rudimentary gyroscopes in Besieged.
this is the equivalent of my trying to become a psychiatrist. 4 years for a bachelor's, 4 years of med school, and 4 years residency. I spent 80% of my life in school. I am 18. I'm not spending 24 out of the 30 years I would be alive by then in school.
