Less than a week ago, I had never even considered becoming a veterinarian. Soon after conceiving this idea, I quickly became obsessed with the idea.
I'm under the impression that many pre-vets have been interested in this profession through most of their college education, if not earlier. I was wondering if any of you are post-grads like myself, and if so I'd love to hear a little bit about yourself and your story.
Here's mine:
Through college, I had a very vague understanding of what I wanted to do with my life, but because I was good at science, I perused not just one, but two degrees in biology. I am now the somewhat proud owner of both a bachelor's and master's degree in ecology and evolutionary biology. I've tried on a number of hats with these degrees, from teacher to forest ranger, but what has most captivated me was my time volunteering for various zoological organizations in recent times.
I am still unsure of my future, but among the options, I've been juggling with include zookeeper, animal rehab, and most recently, either zoo or wildlife vet.
There is still a lot I don't know about these and other careers, but I hope to spend the next few years exploring these fields before potentially making the commitment of applying to vet school.
