i chose my course coz i have wanted to be a vet my whole life, i think i was born with the decision coz i dont remember ever actually deciding "i think i want to be a vet"
i love animals, they are beautiful, fascinating creatures, they dont bitch, they are not greedy.... they dont have anything that makes humans evil, yet they are treated with no respect by some people
i want to promote animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. i love medicine and surgery. and then there is radiology, animal behaviour, holistic medicine, dentistry... i love the variety. being a vet is the most satisfying thing i can do with my life and i cant wait to start practicing!!!
there are heaps of career opportunities (practising, research, quarantine, media, pharmaceutical, etc)
