Hi so I've been trying to decide on a career lately and my boyfriend mentioned that I love animals so maybe I should try to be a vet. I originally planned on nursing but now that I think of it (it's been a while now) I really do think I would love it.
But my question is what to expect and my possibilities. I spent some time working at a vet office and she seemed very nice and liked what she did, but she seemed intensely country and all about simple life.
Is it possible to be more high paced? I picture myself rushing into the office at 8pm after a tech calls to say an emergency is coming in, and I throw on my coat and rush to the hospital where there's a dog being prepped for surgery because it was hit by a car. Just in the nick of time we save it, and we all get to go home knowing it was a job well done and tomorrow will bring new adventures. I know that doesn't happen everyday, but I like the thought of that plus the more normal stuff, like unfortunately having to break bad news about cancer, and holding the clients hand and consoling them in their time of need.
Also I wondered if the above scenario is the type of career where I can hopefully make around 100k? My boyfriend is a musician so I would need to be more of the breadwinner
Thanks for your input!
