I agree with you, Aly.

I also went through that stage of wanting to be a vet, but I never made it. All the work and schooling would kill me. I am working as a Vet Tech right now and am learning a lot, but there are just so many things that our vet does that I know I could not.

Heck, I don't think I could have passed all those Chem and Math courses in college, let alone make it to vet school! LOL

I did seriously think about switching careers from computers to being a full time vet tech, but now that I am in the vet tech field, it helped me realize that I really fit more in with the computer industry.
I know that sounds bad, but it's not that way at all. I admire vets, and being a vet tech is very hard work for very little pay. I would not be able to support myself with this job long term, because the cost of living here is so high. There are also situations that I don't particularly agree with, that vets and techs have to deal with with a smile. I have a hard time dealing with some of these situations because I have very strong opinions on certain things. So, all in all, it's not an easy job and it's not for everyone, but it is rewarding when you genuinely help the animal and comfort their owners.
