The Truth Apparently Yesterday me and my father were talking about jobs. I've told him that...

It sucks doesn't it, although now I'm kinda thinking if I can work in a well paid job I can at least donate a significant amount to charities and volunteer instead 😀

I feel ya. Even if I can’t work directly with animals I’m aiming to at least be in their environment.

Wildlife rehab places alwys need good people. Kennel people who are ethical and kind are badly needed in most places.

Also jobs in doggy day care places are often hiring

You father is speaking bitter workaday reality but if you try very hard and look for jobs that are right for you and don't stop..you will find something

I feel exactly like you, I wanted to do that and had one kennel manager job and then afterwards was old enough to be passed over everywhere due to my age, even though thats illegal in every state

I have a Bachelors in English but never used it. I don’t know if you might have better luck with a degree that focuses specifically on the career you want, but in the US a Bachelors alone is no longer a guarantee of a good job that could potentially support a family. It seems like every job that seems interesting to me requires me to do things I just can’t will myself to do to prepare for them.
