My goal is to have a career that stands.

Timeline: So for the past few months, I have had a change in career plans. After deciding, and realizing I am one of the Animal Science kids that won't use their degree for its intended purpose, I have made a new path for myself. I can see it now... Amber, Girl Scout. Yes, Girl Scouts are for young girls to learn life skills.I want ot be the person in charge of those events. Or maybe Amber, Shelter Manager. I could be the person making all the protocols to help rescue animals. I say, whatever comes first!

Discussion:Is it depressing, sad, upsetting to choose another career? Initially yes. But I think. No 4 years additional schooling, no 200,000 loan, no being the newbie vet for x amount of years until you are able, if ever, to create your own practice. WHEW.

Future:In the mean time, working as a Vet Tech currently is still taking up a majority of my time! We recently just had a kitten epidemic of FIP or something, they were just croaking left and right. It was very disappointing, frustrating and when kittens die- no one is happy! One of my College roomies is getting married this year, so Bridesmaid dressing time. And... My bday in  a week-ish time!!!
