career path...

      I’m currently studying Anthropology but my dream academic/career path is veterinarian technician, also known as vet tech. Vet techs are the people who provide care and comfort to sick or injured animals. They work with veterinarians or scientists in a way that is similar to the help a nurse gives to a doctor. In other words it’s like an animal nurse.  Even though I’m not studying what I really want to study. I’m doing everything I can to change majors and hopefully next semester I will be studying veterinarian technician. When I was a little girl I always wanted to be a veterinarian but as I grew up I learned that it is the vet that put the  animals to sleep, and I don’t think I have the heart for that. So I started to look for other options, that works with animals and care for them. I have always been an animal lover, so I decided to go for veterinary technician. I have encounter a lot of challenges while in my studies, friends, boyfriends, peer pressure , but the hardest I would have to say my depression. Because of it I dropped my grades from a 3.00 GPA to below 2.00 GPA. And it’s been really hard to try to raise them and keep them to at least a 2.85 or 2.75 GPA. I’m planning to get my degree on the year 2014 may be 2015, but since I’m so unpredictable. And when I do graduate from veterinary technician I plan to get a job at a veterinary clinic in the states or better yet at a zoo in Australia, work my hardest, and maybe get a another degree on psychology which is something that always interested me. One thing that I have never been surer of is choosing this career path. Is what I love, animals. I know that there are something’s I won’t like, like the blood and math, but those things I can handle and besides “I would much rater suck at something that I love, that that be good at something that I hate and be miserable for the rest of my life.”
