I am frustrated, and it's because of what I am in love with. I am in love with horse and dog anatomy. I have been for years. I have a bunch of books on anatomy, which I study. I deeply desire to get more involved with anatomy. I want to interact with all the muscles, tendons, vessels etc. I've come to know! I love them and want to know everything about them: even the insignificant details no one cares about. I am absolutely driven to become an expert in this field.
But sometimes I wonder why.
What good is this knowledge ever going to do me or anyone else? Isn't a DVM the only professional that truly uses this knowledge? I don't want to be a DVM. The honest words spoken on this forum have made me far too aware of the harsh realities of vet school and life as a vet.
I considered becomming a RVT, as they have to learn anatomy, but I don't think they go as deep into learning it as I would like, nor do they use the knowledge much in their actual job. And that's not to mention the fact I don't like the prospect of dealing with hordes of ungrateful clients.
Is there any career/degree I could pursue, or am I destined to stay a bundle of good, but useless knowledge? Encouragement is appreciated, but so is giving me the cold, hard truth, whatever it might be.
