Herman Said:

What are some high paying jobs that allow me to work with animals?

We Answered:

You should be concentrating on what you like to do, instead of what is high paying. It is better to have a job you love with average pay, than to do something you don't enjoy just because it has a higher pay.

Of course you could become a vet, or vet's assistant, a zoologist, biologist, marine biologist. You could consider being a dolphin trainer, dog trainer, lion trainer, zoo worker, dog groomer, or raise animals to sell/show.
Since you like environmental stuff you may considering being a forest ranger/park ranger or environmentalist.

If you already have good grades, then you don't need to be concerned about that changing. It's OK if you don't know now what you want to do. Many college graduates still aren't sure about their career path. Just look for something that you will love doing and that uses the talents that you have.

(writing a story)What's a high paying Job that a woman in her early 20's would realistically have?

We Answered:

She might be a local on-air news person. Qualifications include being pretty and photogenic and able to read from copy without practice. She does not need a college degree or an understanding of politics, economics, etc. because she's more a news reader than a reporter. Wardrobe and hairdressing, make-up, etc. may be provided or paid for in whole or in part by the station, if they want her badly enough, so that she gets to look great without spending much of her income.

A family connection to the station's owner could easily get her such a job.
