Trying to work with charismatic megafauna is a sucker's game. It's what they use to draw you in - there are like a dozen of those jobs in the world. You'll go to school for the penguins and before you know it you're sifting through formalin-soaked squirrel intestines trying to determine whether or not crickets are a part of their diet. The real hell of it is that the system will have bent your brain so badly that you'll find this work fascinating and be so insanely passionate about it that you will fail to understand how anyone can NOT see this as the most important question of our era. When people ask you about penguins, you will scoff knowingly; those are organisms for television shows, not real science. You will be intolerable to all but a few similarly twisted autists. And for all this, your paycheck will be smaller than the janitor who dumps out your bucket of squirrel poo poo every night. Ahem, sorry. Here are my cats acting like they have no idea whose fur this is, nor which cats were doing all of that screaming and hissing a moment ago.

I would honestly take a minimum wage job cleaning penguin poo poo out of a pen if it meant I actually got to be near penguins. Like how Battlemaster is with capybara? That's me with penguin. There was a picture I used to have that was of a young penguin that had befriended a stuffed penguin. It was like the most adorable thing I had ever seen. I had it saved on my old computer, but I can't find it now.

Oh, so you have the invisible fighting cats, too? My cats are always scrupulously far away from each other, licking their paws, when I barge in to find out what was making the horrible noises.

Penguins gather in groups, hang out in water, and always look unimpressed with whatever it is that humans are doing around them. They are the capybaras of the bird world

Yeah know joke I'd give up my nuclear engineering career if I could get a job taking care of capys. That isn't going to happen, though, because the only places with capybara exhibits big enough to need dedicated keepers are in Japan.

Cats are nature's perfect narcissists. It could probably sit there, gazing at an infinity of mirror images of itself, forever.
