I've been going to college for psychology for a couple years now, but it's becoming more and more apparent that I don't want to be a psychologist anymore. My biggest passion is animals and veganism. Are there any career paths that center around this??|||A career counselour at your college may be able to help point you you in the right direction or you can go to the websites of peta.com, aspca.org, husus.org, wwf.org. They may have job openings.

Edit: I thought of another one, oceana.org|||There are a bazillion career paths that could be focused on the animals.
A few that weren't already mentioned:
A farm animal vet (you could work at a place like Farm Sanctuary..be valuable as an expert witness in trials..you could (and it would be VERY difficult, but you could) work for the USDA (until you lost your job) and be a whistleblower of sorts)..
Animal groups have websites...they need IT people to create them and keep them going...larger ones have databases/networks/etc
Undercover investigators are always needed...you could train as an undercover person..again - VERY difficult...but VERY needed..
Lawyer
Filmmaker/documentaries
Doctor - whether you focus on nutrition not, any book/study/paper you write becomes far more reputable with an MD in your name. (Think Dr.Neal Barnard)
Veganic farmer
Communications/speech writer/grant writer/marketing/campaign coordinator/writer/politician/news reporter/journalist/lobbyist
Graphic design/ad maker/website design

Quite honestly, I think the question is not 'what is an animal-centric career path?' but instead is 'what is a career path I'm interested in and how can I use that career to help the animals?'

If you want more ideas, these women are always inspirational: http://www.ourhenhouse.org/ (read info on the site or just listen to the podcasts)|||You could be a vegetarian/vegan chef, personal chef, caterer, etc.

You could be a nutritionist specializing in vegetarianism and veganism.

You could go into business and try to open a vegetarian/vegan grocery store.|||vegan chef/bakery owner
nutritionist/dietician
work for or start a non-profit or shelter, rescue sanctuary, etc.
vegan fashion line (shoes, purses...)
start a vegan fast food chain & kick McDonald's @ss :)|||hey try dietician or vegan chef or freelance writer
or just stick to psychology|||Become an organic farmer
