Conservation Conflict
As a child, Eric Goode received a little turtle as a gift, and that began his fascination and love for the animal.
Today, he maintains a sanctuary for turtles and travels the world as a conservationist for a specie that is highly valued and dwindling as a result of illegal poaching.
Lesson: Every field, occupation, or industry will have its share of issues and problems, and some can be placed in the truth-is-stranger than fiction category.
If you’re considering entering a new field investigate the culture, practices and experiences of those who have been involved previously so that you will know in advance what exactly you may find.
