Animal Service

Specific interest area · O*NET

Animal Service is a specific interest area in the O*NET database, part of the Realistic Holland family. O*NET describes it as: "Work involves feeding, grooming, exercising, or otherwise providing care to promote and maintain the well-being of pets and other animals in settings such as kennels, animal shelters, and zoos." It is scored for 891 occupations, which average 1.10 out of 7 on the Occupational Interest scale.

How it's measured

O*NET scores each occupation on this interest on a 0–7 Occupational Interest (OI) scale, where higher means the work more strongly rewards this interest. The figures here are those occupation-level scores — a description of what kind of work each job involves, not a ranking of which job is better, harder, or higher-paid.

Economy-wide average 1.10 / 7 Mean across all 891 scored occupations
Range across occupations 1.00–6.85 Lowest to highest occupation score (spread 5.85)
Prevalence vs. other interests 3rd pct Where this interest's average ranks among all O*NET interest dimensions
