    Dealing with the death of pets and distraught owners can have an effect on these professionals. Exposure to allergens like pet dander and fur, along with radiation are just some of the health issues vet technicians must deal with on a day-to-day basis. Combine all of that with playing multiple roles throughout the day - receptionist, nurse, kennel attendant, technical assistant, janitor, and counselor - and you 've got yourself one heck of a work day. Unpredictable Animals: When an animal feels threatened or alarmed, it will try to defend itself. And when in an unfamiliar area the situation could turn ugly, especially when the animal is sick or in pain. In these cases, the animals are more likely to scratch or bite. Odd Hours: Depending on the employer and his/her expectations, vet technicians may be expected to work on nights and/or weekends. Inclement weather may not be exempt either. Some of the pros of working as a veterinary technician are Pay: While a veterinary technician isn 't necessarily going to start off at $20 an hour, this figure is a possibility depending on the location of the practice and the amount of experience in the field. And with room to grow within the field, the likelihood of a raise isn 't out. Room for Advancement: Veterinary technicians have the option to develop within their field, which translates to more money and opportunities. With an extra two years of education a veterinary tech may become veterinary technologist. This position entails working in biomedical facilities, wildlife facilities, diagnostic laboratories, food safety inspection facilities, and drug and food manufacturing companies. Flexibility: Along the same lines of the point above, vet techs have flexibility to work in a diverse set of environments, not just in a local…

My kid I only owned fish and frogs, and you can’t exactly do much with either of those animals so all I knew were caged animals at the zoo and my house.…

    Through my late teen years I envisioned living in Santa Monica, California. The warm climate, pet friendly areas, and being on my own were at the top of my list. I would be attending The Academy of Art University located in San Francisco, through online courses, majoring in fashion design. My “backup” passion would be the animal health and rescue field. I had always had a passion for animals, from showing Golden Retrievers and Netherland Dwarf rabbits, to my first official job as a feline caretaker with The Second Chance Humane Society at age thirteen. Upon entering the fashion world, I quickly discovered that I would have extreme difficulty with the stress levels due to competitiveness and the overwhelming…

    As a student who is scientifically minded and passionate about the health and well-being of animals, I have decided that I would like to have a career as a veterinarian. I am aware that in order to be a successful veterinarian, you not only need to have an interest in animals, but also in the field of science and mathematics. Fortunately, science and mathematics are my favorite subjects. In sciences, I gain knowledge of biology and anatomy as they relate to the study of animals. On the other hand, mathematics gives me knowledge of veterinary medicine as to where prescriptions are given to different sized animals.…

    Being a Veterinarian is a lot of work but I'm sure I could work with that. It does take many years of study and things like to memorize facts to get into veterinarian school. I did search some facts for being a veterinarian just to see what they do and 1 fact was about that I would have to be prepare for the problems that will encounter in my life as a vet, the second one was saying to be a vet I would have to make sure that when I’m caring a pet I would have to wash my hands before and after caring the pet, so that the pet won’t get any infection, including the tools.

    Physical therapy

    The career path I have chosen to pursue is physical therapy. As I was growing up, physical therapy was not an option I would have considered but ever since junior year, my love for physical therapy has grown and pretty much eliminated all other career options. I had never fully understood what a physical therapist did until I became a patient. In the beginning of my junior year I had torn my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial cruciate ligament (MCL), and medial meniscus while playing goalkeeper in a soccer scrimmage. From this point on, I have been rehabbing my knees because of the multiple surgeries I have had over the past two years. The care and positive reinforcement I received during each appointment made me realize that this job was something I would love to do for the rest of my life. The love of sports really has helped me because a physical therapist is like a coach. They push you to your limit and believe in your ability to recover. The information necessary to finalize my decision is a description of the career itself, educational requirements, employment outlook, typical salary, and how the characteristics of mine would fit this career choice.…
