Careers with Critters is Presented by C S Wurzberger, the Critter Saver!
Hey, I'm CS the Critter Saver...
I knew at 10 years old that I wanted a career working with animals. What I didn’t know was how, and neither did the people around me.
There was no roadmap. No mentor. No one who could say, “Here’s how you turn your love for animals into a real career.”
So I decided to become the person I needed back then: a coach, mentor, and guide who helps teens turn their love for animals into clear career paths and real opportunities.
As a Certified High-Performance Coach, I specialize in growing the Next Generation of Conservation Leaders. With 30+ years of experience, I work with ambitious and enthusiastic young people like you who want to launch real-world conservation projects, protect the animals you love, and build confidence and compassion, grow leadership skills, expand entrepreneurial thinking, and develop respect and empathy for all!
