  1. The Ideal Job By: Desiree Guillen

  2. The Scoop on Veterinarians • Veterinarians care for all kinds of animals in all kinds of places and the work, though it seems simple, is anything but. The grueling task of caring for animals large and small makes the job of Veterinarians harder than some might think, but the rewards are so great that the work is hard to pass up.

  3. What in the World do Veterinarians do? • Veterinarians treat and care for animals in all manner of situations. The general care of an animal is what most Veterinarians deal with on a daily basis. How the animal is to be fed, how the animal plays, how the animal interacts with other animals, and how the animal interacts with humans are all integral parts of how a Veterinarian determines how best to take care of each and every animal in their care.

  4. What Kind of Training do I Need? (A.K.A. - Will I have to go to School?) • Veterinary medicine requires about the same amount of training you would need to become a "human" Doctor. First, you must obtain a Bachelor's Degree (in a sort of science. Biology, Chemistry, etc.) And then you must run the gauntlet of Veterinary School admissions. Each applicant to a Veterinary School must have completed the VCAT or MCAT (Veterinary and Medical Competency Tests) before getting in and you must be ready for a 4 year program. • At the end of 4 years you will be a D.V.M. (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and then you will need to intern as a Veterinarian for 1-3 years. This usually happens in a large and established practice. In the meantime you will also need a license to practice and this will come from the State Board. Usually, you are required to pass a written exam and then a "skills" test. Once you have your license and you have completed your internship it's time to get a job!

  6. How Do I get One of These Jobs Anyways? • Some Veterinarians work as "Large Animal Veterinarians" where they drive their truck or van out to farms and plantations to care for a farmer's livestock. Still others work in Zoos caring for the animals that are on display. Still more, you could work at an aquarium or animal shelter caring for the animals in those facilities. The work is grueling because you will need to work some irregular hours and may need to bring people in unexpectedly to help their pets. However, you don't just have to take care of Mrs. Carlisle's cat your whole career if that's not the ONLY thing you want to do.
