vet school

What would be the pros and if there is any cons of going to a vetinarian school?

[justincorbell]

I see zero cons, any time you further your education that is a big plus, and vets make good money!

I can't think of any cons other than a lot of studying etc. I don't know how old u are but if you're young enough to consider a career like veterinary medicine I say go for it. It was actually my second career choice behind plumbing and foolishly I chose the immediate paycheck over going to school for 4 more years. The pros are unlimited. LSU is one of the top vet schools in the country. Go for it!!

go for the gold boy . my daughter is in colledge now  [ you can see i need more educ. i don't think thats how you spell it lol ] she is still thinking on going that route . you can spend a little money getting all your required b.s. out of the way in a lesser college , community ect. and then make a big commitment and go for the brass ring . we need many many more vet's that were raised around livestock and hunting . we are quickly loseing country vets and there will be a BIG DEMAND IN THE NEAR FUTURE .

I would say go for it if you can handle the studying.  I have a buddy that went through all the schooling at A&M.  Not excactly sure how it works but he ended up going a different route because he got all of his classes taken to be able to apply and had a very high score on his test to get in but there were people with lower scores getting in and when he asked why they told him something about they have to let in a certain percentage of white males, white females, hispanic, and other races.

The race and gender thing will be in anything you do. Unless you work for yourself . I've used a lot of different vets in my life and can't ever remember asking to see a transcript or what school they went to. So long as they did a good job and were personable. If it comes to that maybe apply to several different schools. I know someone told me that the more u participate in volunteer studies etc. The more people u meet and experience u gain the more likely u are to be accepted.

that is rite . my ex was a vet technician and knows many vets and my daughter is now working the front desk at a vets office while getting all the required classes out of the way . if you want to go this route i would recommend being tight with as many vets as possible to pull any strings you might need in the futere . how the hell do you spell future lol .

Doesn't matter if you go to school for underwater basket weaving get you a degree. Now vet would be more practical and engineering is great too but I guarantee you that diploma makes a difference. I'm blessed enough to be a plant operator at 20 years old but there's hardly a day I don't curse for not finishing college and I can almost guarantee I'd have an even better job if I had got the other half of that degree lol

you are a young man . there is plenty of time to do that , night school lol  .

The only con i can think of is getting accepted! Heard its one of the hardest to get accepted to vet school. Other than that, go for it!

Vet school isn't something you just decide on. It takes being in the top of your class and having the co recs. Many students have to start planning in middle school to become a Vet. It isn't easy to get accepted.
