I have less faith in the intentions of doctors because I know many of them go into it to win the approval of their parents, or the money (though not so much this now), or the prestige.
I'll admit I don't know how long you have to study to become a fully licensed veterinarian. |
In the US you have to have 4 years of vet school after finishing prerequisites, so most get a bachelors or whatever first. It can be very difficult to get into vet school and you should have prior experience with animals. You do not have to intern after finishing school though. It is optional.
So about 8 years...
