So, I've been working at the same small animal clinic for over 3 years. At this point, we have had a lot of turnover and I'm pretty much the only non-new tech person.. although one of them has been here for maybe 5 months and has a pretty good handle on things. In the last couple of months, I haven't really been enjoying myself... I chalked it up to being stressed from the application process, but I'm not so sure anymore. The doc has been making a lot of negative/patronizing/generally annoying remarks more often. In the past I have brushed them off and/or ignored them, but they are starting to really get to me. I'm not sure if I'm having a pre-vet school crisis, but I really feel like I should be really enjoying my time before starting vet school.. and I'm considering quitting my job.. this would be the only time in the last.. maybe 10 years that I would be jobless.. and I know real life doesn't allow you to just up and leave your job, so I'm thinking that maybe this would be the time to do it if any.
So... I get to my question. Since I started, I told him when I would plan to apply to school and a general idea of when I would be leaving..June-July before school starts. It is obviously not that time yet. I'm wondering how important it is to maintain relationships with DVMs/clinics that you have worked for as a tech when you becoming a DVM... I would kind of assume that when you apply as a DVM after graduation, you wouldn't list tech experience? But I really don't know... I just wanted to check. I would plan on giving AT LEAST 2 weeks noticed... maybe a month, but I feel like when I leave, he will probably take it personally... and frankly, I wouldn't mind telling him what I think if it wouldn't potentially harm me in the future. Any thoughts on this would be awesome!
