Please do not ever talk down on yourself. You might not be good at certain subject but great in others. Do not let that stop you from following your heart and your passion. Go high - challenge yourself the world need good vets that care...start there and see where it leads you.

Bethany,

What do you mean by "not very good at school?" If school is really hard for you, even though you try as hard as you can, then trying to become a veterinarian, which is an actual doctor, will be difficult. If you could do better if you tried harder, then, it's a possibility. But, you would have to be self-motivated and really determined. There's not going to be someone standing over you and encouraging you every step of the way.

If it was me. . . I'd aim for the highest possible career choice - veterinarian - knowing that I could always adjust downwards if it becomes clear that I'm in over my head. But, no matter what position I was aiming for, I'd try as hard as I could!

Another possibility is to aim first for vet tech, and, then use that as a stepping stone to get to vet school. A tech at my vet's office did that, and now she works there as a vet! If you do that, the experience that you gain as a tech will help you to understand those things you have to learn at vet school. Please give this option some consideration!
