How does one become a taxidermist?

Introduction\n\nTaxidermy programs prepare people to create lifelike models of wildlife and fish. Students learn how to select materials from dead animals and how to use artificial resources such as glass, wax, and foam. They study methods to create needed parts and care for models. In addition, they learn to manage a business and advertise their services.\nOverview\n\nThe Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti once said that "the object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity." As an art form, taxidermy does exactly this.\n\nContrary to popular belief, taxidermists do not take dead animals and stuff them for display. Although this practice used to exist, most taxidermists would frown upon this mere attempt to "reproduce reality." Instead, taxidermists are artists who re-create "a reality of the same intensity" by using a combination of artificial resources and natural materials from animal corpses.\n\nIf you've ever been to a museum of natural history or science, you may have seen the work of a taxidermist. You might have seen the form of an antelope's head mounted on wood or a lifelike representation of a jackrabbit in a setting crafted to look like a forest clearing.\n\nAs a taxidermist, you help to preserve the memory of animals. Just as other artists do, you pay close attention to details that others might not notice. You look at color, texture, expression, and muscle movement. You combine crafts such as carpentry, woodworking, tanning, and molding and casting to give renewed life to these details. You also use the artistic talent required for drawing, sculpting, and painting.\n\nYou might show your work at competitions, in shops and museums, or in the private homes of your customers.\n\nIn taxidermy programs, you learn to build frames and forms to substitute for animal skulls and skeletons. You study the techniques for sculpting clay heads or bodies and finishing models with painting and preservation. You also learn to preserve animal components such as skin, feathers, and fur.\n\nProprietary schools and some community colleges offer taxidermy programs. You can typically earn a certificate which takes anywhere from a few weeks to a year of full-time study after high school."

You just need to love horses, if you're lucky and know a farrier, you could learn from them, or there are schools that you can earn a certificate to become one.  My first suggestion would be to look in your local paper or phone book, or call some local horse farms and see if they can put you in touch with a farrier that would be willing to teach you the trade.  My ex husband is a 7th generation farrier.  Here is a link to a website to a farrier magazine, if you get a hold of them, they might be able to put you in touch with the schools I had mentioned earlier.  Good luck!!\n\nhttp://www.lesspub.com/cgi-bin/site.pl?afj/index

Start going to your local precinct meetings.  STart running for PTA president and city council and after that mayor of a small town where you live.  Start serving on committees and boards.  Start working for someone who is already in office to learn the ropes.  Work for a legislator or lobbyist.  Campaign for candidates you believe in, if they get elected they may offer you a job.  Then you can go from there, when they leave office you can run for it.

If you are in the United States, you need to do the following:\n\n1. Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education, with your specialization as Elementary. If you are interested in becoming an art teacher, your specialization would be Art, or you could extend your program and have two specializations. This includes coursework, field observations, practicums, and student teaching.\n\n2. Pass state professional competency exams in basic skills, general knowledge, professional knowledge, and your area(s) of speciality.\n\n3. Pass local, state, and federal background checks.\n\n4. Obtain a state license (your teacher prep program will help you get everything done for that).\n\nI would also recommend that while you get your degree, you work as a substitute teacher as soon as you  have enough college credits to qualify for hire. You can sub different grade levels and get a real feel for what level you like best, and it builds your resume.\n\nVolunteer teach kids' art classes at your local library, museums, and/or community college to gain additional experience and build your resume.

I suggest doing AT MINIMUM a two-year diploma or associate's degree in Biology.  There are lots of jobs ecology and environmental studies, including park rangers, animal shelter employees and veterinary assitants.  I'll link to some resources below.\n\nIf you're not interested in college or university, you should still do everything you can to prepare for the workforce and make sure that you'll be a good employee.  I suggest starting an exercise routine so that you'll be able to do heavy lifting and other physical labour in the outdoors (and restrain animals if necessary).  Subscribe to some environmental magazines and read the newspaper every day so that you know about current environmental issues.  Volunteer with a local conservation society (this will look good on your job application forms later).\n\nYou can't expect the job to come to you (especially with no college education)- instead you have to prove that you deserve it!  "Wanting" to work somewhere isn't enough.

There are two ways to become an accountant either though training or though an accounts degree.\n\nYour first step would be to do an accountant techcians course such as CAT.  Then you can either do a degree and be a qualified but not a chartered accountant or do the ACCA or CIMA.\n\ni have finished the irish version of the accounting technicans course and it took me 2 years to complete the exams and i am currently working my way towards the required 2 years work experience before i can become a member.  The techicans exams allow you to skip the first year of any accountancy degree and the professional exams.  Definately worth doing.  \n\nTry these websites for more information:\n\nhttp://www.acca.co.uk/\nwww.cimaglobal.com/\nwww.iati.ie\n\nHope you find what you are looking for.\n\nxx

Science qualifications are a big bonus, you don't have to have a degree in Zoology, but it would probably be a good idea to study it because you'd find it interesting!\n\nThe thing you're going to need most though is determination - there are hundreds and hundreds of people going after just a few jobs. Do everything you can to get experience in school and university - volunteer for everything going, at your local park, nature centre, zoo, go on overseas expeditions. \nIt's also probably a good idea to get some media experience - join the student paper, radio or tv station if your uni has one.\n\nGood luck! (I'll be fighting you for those jobs all the way!)

zoology started as a career back in the day, as far back as roman times as people have always wanted to find out ways to exploit the natural world and its inhabitants.\n\nIn victioran times zoology as a creer was basically going out to far flung places (or lacally in the case of amature zoologits) and killing beasts in order to stuff them to bring home for study. although some did make detaild notes on behaviour and habitat it was mostly a trophy hunting game so ironocally in many cases the study of animals caused a good few species to go extinct, including the Adonis Bule butterfly from the UK.\n\nIf you mean how do I make zoology my career, go to college and study it, if you live in the UK then i recommend A'level biology, chemistry and possibly maths (there are loads of statistics involved) english is a good one as is an art based subject or geography as you will need to be able to map out ares for study in order to get an accurate reading of thier diversity.\n\nThen go to Uni and study zoology, although speaking from expereince you might like to try environmental scinece(this means that you get to do all the interesting zoology modules but are more likeley to get a job.\n\nI would also urge you to go on and do a higher degree straight away I have left it and am now too skint to apply but as soon as i can afford it i am getting the fuck out of dodge and giong for my masters ASAP\n\nGood luck i hope i have helped or at least not rambled on too much about nothing
