Sea World, no, because they're more about entertainment than education.
I'm more "ok" with aquariums that are more about educating the guests with the animals they are lucky enough to house.
As far as I know, with the animals in Sea World, they're mostly taken from the wild, while in aquariums the animals are usually kept ONLY if they're deemed non-releasable which is usually after a particularly nasty stranding or injury that prevents them from going back into the wild and thriving.
for example, at the aquarium I'm at, there's a sea lion who has been imprinted on humans and because of that, he cannot be released because he associates himself more with humans than sea lions which is dangerous for him and humans alike.

Are you ethically cool with places like Sea World?
let's see...i was invited to a skype group with you in it and while some of the people in it were less than friendly to me, I found you to be a nice exception to that situation. You're awesome and you seem to know what you want to do in life and that's great, not many people know that. Also you know like 5 languages which is inSANE. teach me a new language
yeah, its not really high paying so you really have to weigh the pros and cons. i'd rather enjoy work than get paid a lot. but thats just me. some ppl like to get money to do fun things in whatever spare time they have. this is what life is all about
close, that is the field that i am in, but not the career. my career right now is doing work for free for experience so I can get hired doing cool stuff
