I have always wanted to be a vet since I was 3 and still havnt changed my mind. People dont beleive me when I say that but I actually did lol :D

i realy want to be a vet. My AS results come out in like 3 weeks and i am really worried that i wont cut it. Just feels better to write this down.

I'd like to know where you get your facts, vardamin. 500% is pretty insane markup unless you live on the coasts. East coast for you? you said your dogs had Lyme. What training have you had in the field of vet med disease and testing of such? You obviously know more than veterinarians about when and what to test for. I'd really like to know where you went to school vardamin. Must be a magical place filled with misinformed people with conspiracy theories. If vet's wanted money, they'd be MDs.

@honeybear002 I doubt it......It's odd for a child to want to cut up animals and even know what a vet is...at that age...I personally just think you keep saying this so you sound like you should become one.

Im 11 and i love animals,always have since i was 2 and always will.I wanted to be a vet since i was 5,and i really want to be one.Can anyone help me out with anything about being a vet?

[ohgoodjoy]

@TheSouthpaw1993 Thanks for informing me. I think it's partially because I live in an area with a high cost of living so my perception of a little and a lot is horribly skewed.

[TheSouthpaw1993]

@ohgoodjoy you know $70,000 is a lot of money to make every year right? That is considered a high paying job. I think you might mean for the amount of schooling they put in compared to other jobs with the same amount of college experience veterinarians aren't payed as much.
