if a spot I want opens up

And people hang onto those damn jobs for decades. I quit the St Louis Zoo because it would have been a long time before I could get a single weekend day off. I didn't realize how much it would suck having Tues and Wed off.

Yep. I didn't think it would suck enough to make me quit doing what I loved, but it did. Oh well. I have experience now so I could always go back, probably. More likely though I will just do it after retirement. Become a docent!

Just office work. What I used to hate and one thing that steered me towards zoo keeping (love of outdoors and such). But at least I get paid well and I have weekends off. I hear some zoos are paying keepers better these days. I think when I worked there I made $12 an hour or something. That's like $24K a year! Ugh!
