Allow me to begin by saying I am young and naive, so please excuse my (or so they sound to me) selfish and ignorant questions.
Most biggest fear (even though I have yet to even start a higher education, yet) of becoming a veterinarian is that I will have no life outside of work. As much as I adore animals and there wellbeing, I would not mind being able to have a family and being able to spend time with them. It's been put in my head by my siblings / friends that I would never have a waking moment without being at work (okay, that's a tad exaggerated... but I think you get the point ). Is this fear a reality?
Secondly, I'm afraid that I won't be afford this journey. My financial standings are quite dismal, being a recent high school graduate without having had the opportunity to get a real job.
I also have this thought in my head that I would like to be a vet. that helps wild animals, as well... is that possible?
I apologize for the poor format of my questions, but right now my brains just a knot of questions...
Thanks for the time, and I look forward to being a member here!
