Taxidermist Questions?
Can you live on a taxidermist’s salary?
What does a decent taxidermist make on adverage per year?
How much does it cost to start up your own shop?
Would you be better off working with someone who has been in it for awhile beforehand?
If you are working for and with someone what would the expected pay be?
I have been told to go into taxidermy and I wanted to know more before making that choice. I’ve taken Carpentry for the past 2 years, this will be my third year. Will this help in the field?
