I'm a zookeeper, I love it but for the most part it's pretty unglamorous. I spend 10% of my time talking to the public, 10% of my time "playing with animals," 20% doing paperwork, and the other 60% is preparing food or shoveling various forms of poop.

And depending on the species, the poop can be easily 1000 times worse than dog or cow poop. I type this comment as I'm just getting home from a day of cleaning the otter enclosure, and my husband still won't enter the room with me even after a shower.
