What should i focus on in high school if i want to be a veterinarian?
I've had a love for animals ever since i was little, and by the time i was 7 i decided that i wanted to be a vet. In middle school all i could do to get ready for being a veterinarian was doing good in my classes. In my three years of middle school I did 2 years of band, 2 years of orchestra, 2 years of cheerleading , 2 years of winter guard, `1 year of art, 1 year of theater, and 1 year of outdoor trails. I was just wondering what i should do in my 4 years of high school. If you have any tips for me i would greatly appreciate it, thanks. 😊❤️

AtlanticHas working in the vet field affected your mental health?
I know that working in the vet field can decrease a person's mental health. Some people want to blame you for issues that come up with their pets, and we lack resources compared to human medicine. Often, the vet field has to work longer hours with a limited number of people working in the field. Do you sometimes find yourself becoming burnt out or feel your mental health taking a toll from the issue you face?
AtlanticWhat challenges have you faced while working in the veterinary field and how do you work through them?
I am a senior in high school and work at a vet clinic as a room assistant and kennel technician so I see challenges that can come up. I want to go to college next year to enter a vet tech program but want to be more aware of what I might face in the field.

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.

What should I do? I've been thinking about what I should take in college and really would love to work with animals. A vet assistant to then a vet technician would be my goals. Heres the thing, there salary isnt ideal for my future and I feel I need a second major or career choice. I would enjoy learning languages and want to travel the world.

I have ideas for side hobbies I could do but they are small and not money worthy. Anyone know what i should do? I was thinking about taking a second major but not sure what the animal care field would have for that. #Fall24
