How Did You Figure Out What Your Dream Job Was?
I'm a high school senior who has wanted to be a veterinarian ever since middle school, but after shadowing every veterinarian in my area, I realized that I did not want to be a veterinarian anymore. Since then, I have changed my "career path" numerous times. I thought I wanted to be a wildlife biologist, a photographer, a dancer, a choreographer, a systems architect, a lawyer, an environmentalist, a teacher, a surgeon, and more. I just can't decide on anything and due to the fact that I have my 2-year AA degree (through PSEO) my generals are all completed so I really only need to do 2 more years of college for my intended major, but I don't know what it is yet. Any advice would be appreciated! #stressed #help #veterinarian #dance #choreography #wildlife-biology #environmental-science #systemsarchitect #surgeon #teacher #lawyer #photography #pseo

Would you take different college courses if you were to work with exotic animals rather than pets?
Working with animals than you are more likely to see in zoos seems to be more challenging and an experience worth having. I know that not all animals have the same anatomy set up and I'm curious as to if you learn all the anatomy in verterinary school or just the common anatomy's such as the following; dog, cat, birds. #veterinarian #animals #exoticanimals #college-majors

How can I specialize as a veterinarian?
I am a high school senior who has always wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, and I have been doing thorough research on the various aspects of the occupation. I am very interested in veterinary dentistry or surgery, and I would really like to specialize in these areas. Is there more schooling that I have to attend in addition to vet school to get certifications? #veterinary #veterinary-medicine #veterinarian #animal-health
What are ways that a veterinarian can lend their skills to other species of animals should they decide to not become specialized?
I have noticed a problem that has often appeared when people have or own pets that require care, which are usually turned away because a vet only specializes with specific species, or they must travel a great distance in order to get the care their animal needs. Especially in agricultural areas. Shouldn't veterinarians have some knowledge on care for a variety in species? I would think that it's an expectation in vet schools since it's takes 8 years of schooling to become certified unless a person desires to specialize. #learn-more-to-do-more #veterinarian
Any advice on how to successfully complete college being a single mom?
I recently just found out that I'm expecting, and I'm only 18 years old. Right now I'm in my second semester of college, but my baby is due in September which will be the first semester of my sophomore year.

Should I minor in Spanish or Wildlife when I plan on becoming a wildlife veterinarian (hopefully at a zoo)?
I will be entering college this fall, majoring in Animal Sciences. This major covers animals extensively, but should I choose a minor in wildlife to gain even more understanding? However, I have also heard that it is extremely beneficial to know more than one language, so should I minor in Spanish? Which would most likely end up being more beneficial in the end? #medicine #veterinary #veterinary-medicine #veterinarian #pre-veterinary-medicine

Working with animals, while having allergies is it worth it?
I love animals, and I would love a job where I could work in animal rehabilitation. However, I do have allergies against them. For those who have allergies and are working in this field, what do you do? Do you take medication? Does your body eventually grow immune to the dander? Do you find that your job is worth it in the end? #veterinarian #veterinary #veterinary-medicine
What is the best way to approach a veterinarian regarding job-shadowing?
Most veterinarian practices that I have run into or researched do not have a student program which allows for internships or volunteering--they are simply medical practices. However, shadowing a vet can give great insight into deciding if the vet-path is a good career path for a student and most schools require x number of hours of vet-shadowing. How can I approach vets about shadowing? Is cold calling a good idea? Emailing? Also, how can you negotiate shadowing for a long period of time (months, rather than just one weekend)? #internships #veterinarian #veterinary #volunteering #veterinary-medicine #volunteer #work-shadowing #shadowing
