What are the different positions at the zoo?

I am currently 29 years old and a sous chef but looking to switch career paths. I always loved animals and wanted to be a vet growing up but was discouraged because of my grades and just kind of ended up cooking.

I dont have the savings to go to school so was hoping I could find a beginners position where I can learn and make atleast full time hours, making above minimum wage would be nice but as I havent worked with animals before I wouldnt expect it and would be happy to make my way up if I got to work around animals. (I never expect to make a lot working at a zoo, i expect to eventually get some raises but not expecting to become rich]

The zoo in the city I live closed a decade ago or I would look into intern or volunteering part time to get experience. If I want to work for a zoo I need to move which I am fine with but am trying to do more research and figure out what the jobs are, what I should apply for, if I even have a chance.

Would appreciate any info or advice

Thinking about changing careers

I currently work as a sous chef at a hotel, been cooking since i was 20, I am 29, turning 30 this year and always wanted to work with animals.

Im thinking of looking at being a cook at any zoo, but not entirely sure what i need to know. I understand how to cook, small portions or large banquet style portions. But what is the difference for cooking at a zoo? Do I need to go to school and learn about animals to cook for them or can I just apply as an entry level cook?

Do you think the excellerated healing could heal a decade old or born injury that prevents use of the legs or would the person just role around in a wheelchair at super speeds, pushing with their arms to go incredible speeds?

If their legs dont heal how would that affect trying to vibrate through an object, i would think they could grab the chair and vibrate the whole thing but would the vibration go through their legs or would that be a risk?

Im curious what others think as I randomly got this idea and started thinking to deeply on this as I dont think it's happened before
