in one of your posts you said its another four years, however last i checekd and its been a while since i graduted from college and medical school you, but you cannot get a 4 year degree from community college, but even if you can and your schedule is easy now it will not be when you are in vet school, there are only 28 vet schools in the us its hard to get in, the veterinarian curriculum is more diversified than human medicine because of the amount of different species and physiologies they have to study. Remember, many veterinarians especially general practitioners take on many responsibilities as surgeons, pharmacists, diagnosticians, radiologists, behaviorists, dentists, orthopedic surgeon,....and provide comfort to both patient and owner- all this has to be learned. 4 years of college 4 years of vet school and then most vets do a residency. I went to med school at one of the best medical schools in the country, i did very well in college, and in medical school but, some days i could hardly take care of myself let alone a dog. I say wait, i always wanted a yorkie from the time i was 5, i grew up in a orphanage and a lady who always came to visit the orphange with gifts at the holidays had 2 yorkies, to me she was a perfect lady, she was kind, pretty ,nice drove a lincoln that the trunk would close by itself, i always thought that was cool, i always said one day I will be a dr donate to the less fortunate, have a lincoln and 2 yorkies, I am a dr have 2 yorkies but opted for a mercedes over a linclon,, lol... anyway I waited until the first year I became an attending dr and I am glad i did. |
