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!!!

I don't know of a single person who started out with an intended goal and in time, whether it be short or 10 years post MD, DVM, PhD; acting school or art school who has not evolved into another path. As long as they are happy with it, stay the course. Remember, in time YOU CAN go back if you chose....at any time, any age and complete the studies you LIKE to do. In the mean time, enjoy each day and value your work and who you are...because that means so much.
