Starting a Wildlife Career at 40: Interview with Jeffrey Hunter

Many people fear they are too old to start a career in wildlife biology after they started another one, or perhaps just graduated from school and realized their degree was not right for them. By old, I don’t even mean old! People in their late 20s and early 30s are worried that they are too old!

Here I interview Jeffrey Hunter, senior program manager at the National Parks Conservation Association, started his career in wildlife when he was 40, after spending 20 years working for Verizon in corporate America. This is a fantastic conversation for anyone who thinks it is too late for them! Jeffrey offers a lot of advice for those entering the field so even if you aren’t a late bloomer, this is still a great episode to listen to.
