Well, after the interview, I've decided NO.

The job would be very rewarding in the fact that I would be working with animals and learning more vet stuff, however there are many down sides that outweigh that.


I don't want to sound like a lazy person, because I'm not when it comes to my job, but there are far too many responsibilities for ME, a 18 year old looking for her second job.

First of all, this is my main problem. I'd come in the morning for 2-3 hours BY MYSELF with 30+ animals. It's horrible to say, but WHAT if one of the animals decided to attack me, what if someone broke in, what if, what if...

I don't believe having one person all alone is safe at all. I think atleast 2 people at all opening hours/closing hours.


Secondly, besides cleaning every examining room, kennel, outside, feeding, bathing, etc. I would be in charge of making sure so and so's dog gets this surgery then, gets this shot then, gets this medication then, and making sure each of the 30+ animals get the medical attention from the vets at the necessary time.

I'm sorry, but WHAT IF I forgot to schedual Fido in and he died. Who's fault would it be.

All of that complied with the $hitty hours....Not for me. Especially since I'd rarely even have time for my three.
