Hey all,
I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and I am a junior currently earning my bachelors in Animal and Poultry Science. I have had two vet school interviews but was waitlisted twice. I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something.
About 9/10 vets I’ve talked to had said if they could go back, they wouldn’t have become a vet for a few different reasons. The debt, pay isn’t great and there’s little to no life outside of work.
I love animals but am a high stress person and not sure if I’m meant to be a vet anymore. I want to work with animals, but I don’t want to sacrifice my life for it. I have thought about earning my PHD in zoology or marine science instead.
I don’t know what to do! I would like some honest opinions from vets themselves.
Thanks!
