    I will never believe this. I've seen too many good vets in my time. From my regular vets to vets at a veterinary clinic in Cleveland and at Ohio State University. Why on earth would someone even want to be a vet if they didn't want to help animals. There are plenty of other professions to choose from.

    Why on Earth would someone put themselves through the very difficult and EXPENSIVE schooling to become a veterinarian if they didn't truly and honestly love animals.

    I am only in school to become a tech, and already this has taken over my personal life. I "work" 8-3, plus an additional 3-6 hours of homework and/or studying every night. This is not taking into account the weeks when I am on kennel duty when I have to arrive at 6:30am and stay as late after classes as 5:30pm. PLUS WEEKENDS.

    I'm just training to be a tech...a vet has to go through more than double of what I'm going through... if you didn't honestly have that drive of loving animals, you would not subject yourself to such ridiculously hard schooling. You have NO personal life during school!!!

    Plus, "there are plenty of other professions to choose from", there are also plenty of other higher-paying and EASIER professions to choose from than a vet.

    So I do not agree with the "90%" statement. Maybe some percentage it's true, but I honestly believe in my heart that the majority of vets out there today do it because they love animals, even if they've become desensitized, they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't care.
