What is it like to be a wildlife veterinarian?
Hello! I've been interested in veterinary medicine for a while, and have recently been especially drawn to the idea of working with wildlife. If anyone could tell me more about what this job entails, expected salary (I've heard it's less than a clinical vet but I'm unsure of how much), and overall if you would recommend it, that would be super helpful! Thanks!

LincolnI have a lot of questions?
I have a few questions 1. I applied at the Vetco mobile vaccine clinic as a customer advisor. Over the phone, the recruiter asked me to come to the location for a tour of the facility. When I went, she showed me how everything was set up and said that she would send me the offer letter that same day or later that week. My first question is, I haven't gotten the offer letter yet, how many days should I wait until I send a follow-up email asking about the offer letter? 2. If time does pass, how should I format the email to not seem pushy or desperate. 3. Does working at this clinic count as veterinary hours needed for Veterinary school? and how should I keep track of these hours?

Leaving a career to pursue later?
I am thinking of becoming a Vet Technician but initially feel pursuing at this time in my life wouldnt be the best choice. I dont feel emotionally or mentally able to pursue this dream as of right now and feel, maybe I should wait till several years till I make the decision. I feel not starting this career would hurt me later in the future but honestly am not sure what to do. Should I choose to wait a couple years to become a Veternarian Technician and instead, go on to do college but choose to do a different degree or should I pursue Veterinarian Technician now? Let me know what you think.
