How lucrative would a career be as a Bird watcher?

[UpAndComing]

I was walking in Central Park one day and saw two birds walking on the concrete then flying away. Then I think to myself, can anyone make a career out of this?
I see old women and unemployed men do it all the time on park benches, and I think, "Look at them with all this wasted potential"


So I searched and searched, and found a school in Austin Texas, with a Bachelor's Degree in Bird Watching. It's a real competitive, but I think I can get in the program. They have an option to get your Masters Degree in Wasting Time, or just get a certificate in Useless Energy

This major is among the best in the Paper or Plastic department. Along with Psychology, Basket Weaving, and Women Studies

My friends see me with this fascination with birds and say, "Why don't you just go to college for Ornithology? "

I be like

I don't want to study the science of birds. I only wanna study how they feel

The job does deal with alot of stress at times. Like if a snake in the grass might eat them, or people walking in your way while you're viewing birds with your binoculars... But I'm ready for this

Please hurry, I need to choose my major ASAP

Serious responses only please

You're going to be pigeonholed into a one sided career and them student loans are going to be robin your bank accounts for years to come.

Don't do it. Keep it as a hobby.

My buddy has his masters in biology. His study was primarily birds but he studies all types of animals. His job consists of him spending 2-3 months in different cities studying animals, camping. All good, travel and lodge paid for, plus he makes bank and gets acceptance bonuses based on need. He took a job studying bats in TN and was given 15 thousand up front plus got paid like 150 a day for 2-3 months.

Somewhat off topic, but Japan imports people to watch newborn chickens. Japrehs be making $180k per year if they are good at it....

Link--> Chicken sexers in Japan lament the decline of an industry

This can lead to earnings of about 1,260,000 yen ($15,000) a month with the added bonus of overseas contracts.

But to achieve close to 100 percent accuracy and near the world record speed of some 3 seconds per hatchling requires long hours of training and only a few end up with such skills.

“Years of desire to be a 100 percent accurate in my work required discipline, practice, practice, focussing and the trusting of my intuition,” said former chick sexer and poultry farmer Bob Martin, author of the book “The Specialist Chick Sexer.”. -reuters

I think the same job only gets you 60k domestically. But Japan consumes more eggs than anyone else in the world, so watching baby chicks is a big deal for em.



I could see a college degree for this being 100% worth it. The kinda hours they gotta spend looking at birds is similar to the flight hours pilots need.

Came in here expecting someone to post about bird watching in the strip club, I am highly disappointed
