Q. I would like to pursue a career as a veternarian once I graduate and am choosing classes for next year and your appreciate some advice on ideal courses to take and good things to do to help me later on through college and afterwards.
A. Being a vegetarian isn't a career...it's a life choice...you can do environmental studies or philosophy but there is no major in "Vegetarianism"
how to ask a veterinarian out for a business lunch without looking like a crazy person?
Q. I just want to pick his brain and ask for advice because I'm very interested in the career field. In addition, we have so much in common like same middle school and small places to volunteer for animal experiences.
A. just say " Hi "name of vet" I need to ask you "what you want to ask" but it might take awhile so do you want to talk about it over lunch. AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
Can I be a Veterinary Technician first and THEN become a Veterinarian?
Q. I want to be a Vet tech and once a have a job, finish the two years after an associates degree to get my bachelors. From there, I want to apply to Vet school. Is this a good idea? I really need the advice!
A. You can do that, but a lot of the vet tech classes you'll take won't transfer over into pre-requisites in vet school. So, it'll probably take you longer than 4 years if you go that route.
My advice would be to skip the associates degree and get a bachelor's, work as a veterinary assistant instead.
Friends of mine that did this ended up taking 3-4 years to get their bachelor's after already having an associates because most of their classes didn't transfer.
The other concern is most employers won't hire you as a technician knowing you're planning on leaving in two years. They're much more flexible with their assistants because most people applying for those jobs are ultimately wanting something more. Techs on the otherhand, mostly are set in their career and employers can invest something in them knowing they'll stick around for awhile.
