Search and Rescue dog handler/trainer is it something you can make a career out of?
Basically reality has set in at the moment. I have just realised that i have ONE (or 2 if i stay on but it’s still not that long) year of school left before i leave into the big bad world of work. I definitely want to work with animals, dogs specifically. I have always been interested in dog training and it’s something i would really love to do as a career. S&R is something that i am really interested in and i’ve been looking things up on how to get in and what the job consists of and it’s something, i’ve decided, that i’d really like to do. However, i’m unsure if i can actually make a career out of being an S&R dog trainer or if i would have to have another job on the side.
Does anyone know?
Also if you have any of you have information/experience with S&R work feel free to share it with me. 
If you want to work with dogs you may want to look into the following
Police dog handler
Customs and Excise officer dog handler
Assistance Dog Trainer for example, Guide Dogs or another assistance dog organisation
other careers you may want to think about
kennel or rescue home dog carer (used to be called kennel maid)
vet nursing
It is always quite competitive to find work with animals and can sometimes be low paid when compared to other jobs
