So I've been set on being a physician for a while now and I am going to be starting college in August as a Biomedical Sciences major, but I have been looking into Vet school and veterinary medicine and now I'm at a crossroad. I just want to consider all of my options. I love animals and I love anything to do with science and medicine so really either one would be interesting in the end. While I am a social person and I can work great in teams and with other people, I feel like with my personality I would do really well with animals vs only working with humans. I've been doing my research and I am mainly interested in zoo and wildlife. I know vet salaries are low (especially compared to MD's) and there is a struggle to pay back loans but I am honestly not worried about that no matter what path I take because I feel like if it is something I love doing, it will be worth it. I just want to see if anyone has any helpful input? I have time to decide but I also want to figure out what kind of volunteering I want to do in college (hospital vs volunteering with animals somewhere).
Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!
