I’m currently 28 and working as a medical scribe in a dermatologist’s office which I’ve worked at for almost a year. All of my volunteer hours have been at a children’s hospital and I am your cookie cutter pre-med with a low GPA (3.35 for both science and cum) but a 3.9 upward trend after going vegan and changing my lifestyle.
Well, the thing is, opening an animal sanctuary for farm animals is my dream. And nothing will get me to that dream faster and provide a better outcome than becoming a vet. I would not care about money if I was doing what I loved, and that’s why I had this change of heart. Animals are everything to me, and I’m not exactly the type A personality to become a medical student. In fact, I have pretty bad social anxiety at times and am really quiet. People just stress me out in large quantities and being solitary appeals to me. So, I guess what I’m asking is, is this a feasible goal? Working as a large animal vet and opening a sanctuary? And what goals would you recommend me take in order to make this dream a reality? I know my lack of clinical hours is a hinderance and the thought of taking more time to get those even though I’m already 28 is stress inducing. I just really need to help these animals. Any help would be amazing
