Since I was in fifth grade, I have wanted to become a veterinarian. With this, I understand that there is a very large commitment, but I believe I can handle the challenge. My schedule will consist of working 6 days a week for roughly 8.5 hours each day, which will add up to about 50 hours a week. I chose this schedule, because I would like to have one free day a week to be with friends and family and to enjoy my personal life. Also, with working 8.5 hours in one day, I can start my day early, around 7:30 am and get out by 4:00 pm. This would then also give me some free time after work. With my hopes of having a family, I will need to maintain these hours so that I may get optimal family time, but without neglecting my responsibilities as a trusting veterinarian. Along with maintaining my hours, I hope to live …show more content…
Once I become extremely experienced and have gotten a very well reputation, I can potentially make about $130,180 a year. Along with an increase in my salary, as I work more and more, I will also get more flexible hours as well as better benefits. With being independently employed, I will not have any medical benefits or coverage and my schedule will be difficult to change. With the large dedication to my job, I will not be able to take as many days off, which means that I will often have to come into work sick, which I have witnessed at my internship first hand. I will have a lot of people depending on me and I will not be able to just call in sick, as compared to some other careers. As I stack up more and more hours at work, though, I may be able to create some room in my schedule for a week or two in the year to have vacations. Luckily, I will still be able to have holidays like Christmas and New Year’s eve off, for even my coworkers would not want to come in on those
I love animals and I would love to work with them. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I would want to work with animals because they interested me so much. Becoming a veterinarian isn’t just about playing with dogs and cats all day; you are actually in charge of taking care of them and this is a no messing around job. You are responsible for whatever happens to that dog or any other animal. It’s a tough and serious job but I’m up for the challenge because it’s what I want to do for the rest of my
One of my main educational and also career goals in the world of veterinary medicine and animal health care would have to be completing all necessary courses to obtain my Veterinary Assisting certificate and going to work at a vet clinic. Eventually, I may chose to go back to school to complete the rest of the courses needed to become a Veterinary Technician. I have always grown up around animals so I assume that is where my love and passion for helping animals came from. As a young child and still to this day, I have always found comfort, peace, and an increased amount of patience in being around animals. I have also always been intrigued by the idea of therapy/service animals. I see those animals being able to truly make an impact on their
My legacy, the people I have touched, I have touched people my sister because I have prepared her through all of her grades and obstacles ahead of her and all of the little kids that I have played softball with an helped them for school tryouts.Some of my major accomplishments are in sports like making the school softball team in 6th grade and coming in second in our division another one is I worked as hard as I could and moved my grade from a C to a B.
The most profound reason I want to be a veterinary technician is the people. Each animal and pet has an owner—a person that treats them like a son or daughter and I strive to make sure they know their pet is in the best hands and follow up on my promise to do so. I have met people that have this same ideology and it strengthens this profession to put the patient and client’s well-being above anything else. I’ve seen and experienced missed lunch breaks, staying an hour after close, coming in early, even hours without bathroom breaks—and I love
Many vets also choose to go on and specialize in a certain field such as neurology, cardiology, and dermatology. This extra training could take an additional 2-5 years. Working with animals could also potentially be dangerous. The large amount of schooling will not prepare you for all the things you could potentially have to handle. Working conditions could be anything from being in
As a registered veterinary technologist, I would expect my daily routine to be complied of various, and sometimes strenuous, tasks and responsibilities, such as evaluating an animals condition, checking vital statistics, cleaning and wrapping wounds, restraining animals, preparing and stocking surgery rooms with necessary supplies, and some dental care. As a registered veterinary technician, I expect that good people skills are necessary as well, due to the fact that I would more than likely be in considerable communication with our patients owners while the animals are under our
There is definitely a lot to be taken away by this great video. It was very informing and inspiring to see this. I loved how he explained how he indirectly and directly accomplished all of his dreams, no matter how small or childish. Another aspect that I enjoyed was his use of walls and blocks in life, and how it leads to something better.
Veterinarians provide medical services for animals that are big and small. Helping sick animals weather they are big or small. They provide medicine for house pets and farm animals. When owners take there pet to the vet they are looking for someone to provide information to them about their animal. Some of the information given to the own is about how to properly care for your animal to make sure it grows the right why. Veterinarians are there to help animals no matter the size.
My primary motivation to become a registered veterinary technician is to learn and do more in the field of animal care. My experience working directly with animals has been incredibly rewarding. More than anything, it has shown me how important attention to detail and the most basic tasks can be. I have developed a healthy respect for the often tedious and demanding labor that is required to keep animals healthy and happy and I am quite comfortable taking on these duties, but I feel ready to do more.
Veterinarian Technology is the job I have been researching, this job sounds so interesting and even though you have to go to school for 3 to 4 years I think it will be worth it. I’m looking forward to learning about the surgeries they must perform and the many animals I can save from various illnesses. Without animals earth wouldn't be the same if we didn't have animals and I want to be the one to help save them.
The first day of my sophomore year put a halt in my previous plans to go to school to become a veterinarian. Every two years in my small high school, our Spanish teacher puts together a trip through EF Tours to one of the many countries in our world. That year she had decided that Belize was the destination. Although I didn’t have a clue where the country was, I added my name to the list and six short months later I had arrived in the Central American country. It wasn’t anything like I had expected. Apart from the humidity there was immense poverty evident in each town we went, which was also shown in the school’s that we visited. In that moment, a switch flipped in my head and I knew I wanted to do something to change that. By giving me this
My passion for animals and my dream of being a veterinarian was still in me and I wanted to keep striving towards it. But with all the time and money my parents spent on my studies to be a psychologist, I was struggling in what I wanted to
I chose technical education because I believed it was my best course of action to get me where I want to be in life as efficiently as possible. I had originally applied to an out-of-state university and got accepted. It took me nearly a year to realize this was not the best course of action for me, short-term or long-term. One night I realized it just wasn’t going to work. Finally, I sat my family down, we had a deep discussion and realized we could not pull it off.
I have chosen to pursue for my future is to be a veterinarian, As one might assume it's too much time to spend in college for this profession. “When entering for this type of profession is required to have four years of college, with mathematics, and sciences courses, Starting off with the courses of chemistry, biology, and physics” (myself). It is said “for one to become a vet is required to take a lower division preparation in all sciences, calculus
People often nostalgically say that they wanted to become a veterinarian as a kid out of a love for animals but veered away from that career path for one reason or another – maybe a lack of strength in the sciences, a distaste for dealing with blood and other bodily fluids, or an uneasiness about participating in the killing of healthy animals as part of the vet school training process. This last reason is the most troubling since failure to address it leads to veterinarians who I desensitized to animal suffering – not the kind of veterinarians we want to have. From a young age, I had a natural affinity for animals and knew I wanted to become a vet. While I raised vegetarian by my mother, it wasn’t until I was in college that I learned
