I just realized that in a couple years I may likely be teaching some of the pre-vets on this board.
****. I better start acting like an adult.
I meant when these particular ones, e.g. lhmhtd, pinkpup, batsenecal, etc. get to vet school.
Didn't make the list
Dr. WTF why did you kill me in WW on SDN?!
Because, little Timmy, you obviously didn't study for my exam.

I think I would have to change some things and be a lot more cagey about where I am employed. I've been pretty open about it through my whole education but that will likely have to change.
Nah, I don't have much of an ego to speak of. I wish I were already in school though
or like...at least accepted to one...

I haven't gotten an interview for Penn (yet?) so
Yeah I had heard that they do thatOh, Penn... they are erm.. interesting... they strung me out to the very end before finally rejecting me. I think I was one of those that was just right on the edge and borderline for getting an interview.
Anyway, good luck!
Do you have a preference for which school?
I'm not too optimistic about my chances there anyway.
I like this plan
At our school we hire starting assistant professors in anatomic pathology at 100-110k - after a decade they are making over 130kThat's what most brand-new clinical professors at vet schools, who are either board certified in their specialty or have a PhD (or both), get paid.
More senior ones maybe more like 100-120 or so. But yeah. At some of the institutions in big cities it might even be more, but overall still not commeasurate with education and dedication.
Love your clinical profs guys. They put up with neverending education and **** academic salaries to teach you.
(I really like it though, even if it is hell getting there. I'm even taking some paedagogy classes next year to get a sort of teaching certificate. Haven't told my PI though...he'd derisively call me an "academic" :
My practice has one of the highest office call charges in the area $65. We are definitely not undercharging so... Idk maybe we're just weird.
Pretty much, the city is doing nothing about it. They know her property is overrun with cats and they have done nothing. She has no children, she is an old lady. The story goes that after her husband passed away, this problem arose. Interesting tidbits about her, she cremates every single cat that passes away, stray or not. She is that typical animal hoarder you can find on tv.
I'm no business owner, but isn't it time to refuse to see her? The clinic is clearly taking a massive loss there.
I think this (not just you, of course) is where people get the idea that veterinarians are there to do charity work.
I think there are ways you can report. Most counties have laws placing limits on how many pets can be in one household, regardless of medical care. I'm sure there are loopholes around those laws (farms), but in general, they're pretty strict around here. Especially if there are children in the house.
My experience: cases seen from 7am-noonish, followed by paperwork (keeper/area manager communication, prescriptions, records, etc.). However, this zoo's days were packed every day. Lots of incoming and outgoing animals, and a huge collection. I was lucky in that I was a part of almost every procedure every day, routine or not. It probably varies a LOT based on collection size, hospital staff size, and more. However, i think us zoo people will be very well protected from client interaction and the negatives that come along with it. A client won't medicate his dog? You're stuck. A keeper won't medicate his cheetah? Likely to be fired, relocated, etc.
I always chuckle a little bit when I'm referred to in a post. Pinkpuppy9 has always been my go-to...since I was 9. Let's be Neofriends, guys.

I will be completely honest when I say I don't know exactly what the program is. Interviews at Mizzou are only 15 minutes, and I was already over the time limit when they started talking about cost of attendance and how I should really consider doing that program. If I am accepted, I am planning on flying back out to Mizzou and talking with the assistant dean who discussed it with me, I had not even heard a word of anything like that prior to that interview.Are they talking about the public loan service forgiveness program? If so, there might be changes coming to that this year... including a max cap of (I think) $58,500. However, the way the cap is written basically grandfathers in anyone that STARTS their education prior to when it goes into place (not just repayment, but actually started at a school working on their degree). I don't know if that means you have to have started vet school or just the undergrad part, but I would think vet school. And this only really matters if the cap goes into effect, not sure if it will pass or not.
If they aren't talking about PLSF, then nevermind... just ignore me...
if it is that program, I certainly will know what questions to ask now 
They were probably referring to PSLF, which would include working for a non-profit land grant university or a shelter.I will be completely honest when I say I don't know exactly what the program is.

But thanks for letting me know about that!
But that tells you that I'm 23 and have played within the last year....That account was last spotted on neopets 274 days ago, I feel like it'd be a very unrewarding neofriendship.
Yeah when I was looking into that after DVMD mentioned it, I was also confused by exactly what u were saying.... Have u heard of any other programs, or is that the only one?
Hmmm interesting. I know when the program was first introduced (back when I was applying to vet school I think), they said that didactic teaching qualified. I wonder if you need to have a certain percentage of teaching duty vs. hospital/research duty to be considered? Like someone who was doing 75% teaching would qualify but someone who was doing only 25% teaching , 25% research and 50% clinics would not. Not sure, just pulling this outta my butt.
I have a met a vet working in a shelter that is doing the PSLF... don't know about vet professors though...
Maybe there is some fancy loophole that the school discovered??
I like the way you think!It is the best place to pull information from...
Do you definitely want to go into academia? I know it's been on your radar for a while, and that's why you went after the PhD. But worse case scenario, do you think you'd be okay accepting an industry job?
But that tells you that I'm 23 and have played within the last year....
Shoot. Imagine all of the neopoints I could have collected in interest.....
You just made my day
I might have logged in every day in December for the Advent Calendar.
Agree. I hear you, as someone who deals with chronic (daily) pain for which there is no cure (unless they're doing head transplants now).
