I would like to obtain a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit. If I were to obtain it in NC here are the requirements:

But it keeps saying that you must have experience working with animals. How can you get experience with wildlife animals if you did not go to college or plan on going to college? I would just intern, but to do so you must be a college student. Can I work at a raptor, reptile or animal refuge type place as a volunteer or junior volunteer to gain experience? Would that count?
Also after you obtain your permit, how do you get work through it? Do you just take it to an animal rehab center and apply for a job? Would that be a paying job?
