A little rant about ignorant people

[Argranade]

You tell em girl! lol...

Yes there are many people who dont have an education on vets and such but it does not mean they have to complain about it. So what if you want to become a vet thats your choice not there's,so when they say Why do you want to be a dumb vet or somthing you say..

''Because I can and if you dont like it then go complain to yourself as I dont want to hear about''

Those Looders...

Thanks so much everyone. It's good to be able to know other pet lovers around the world who know exactly what I mean about these losers.

I've been thinking about your thread. I agree that they are losers. But may I suggest an alternative to "ignorant"--at least for some of them?

Sounds to me like some of them are being bullies. They're just being nasty because they can. And probably some of them are just a little jealous or feel somehow threatened. ("I eat meat...does that make me bad? No, I'll just say something nasty to the vegetarian to prove I'm better.")

Jerks.

But here's another thought: These type of people don't go away. Many of them mature and stop this nonsense, but many people don't.

As a vet, you'll meet people that will exasperate you every day. So, think of this as practice.

Good luck to you and congratulations on your noble career selection!

You probably do have a point there. It isn't bullying as such, as people know I don't tolerate people like that, but they are doing it to tick me off certainly. I suppose really what they say doesn't affect me, I know I'm right and they're wrong and that's that. It's getting angry and hostile that I don't like. I naturally snap when people push me over the edge.

Yes, that is true And thanks a lot for the advice

I wouldn't be bothered by those people. In 10 years when you're single handly running your practice and making a good living, those will be the people dragging their dog in a complaining that they can't afford $50 for shots.

Just to make you feel better, there is a place for people who share your passion - the University of Findlay. They have a pre-vet program and two huge stables - an English stable and a western stable. For many students, if they haven't shoveled s### by the time class starts, they'll be shoveling it when classes end and loving it! The people here are animal lovers, most are horse-crazy. And NOBODY looks down at them!

Sometimes you just gotta flock with birds of a feather to be appreciated. I think your passion to become a vet is admirable!

Good job! I wanted to punch that idiot. Ignorant people are everywhere, it's so frusterating.
