Being able to save an animal in near death situations is one of the best feelings. A veterinarian helps animals get better. Veterinarians take care of animals for as long as they need until they get better. Since veterinarians involve health the career falls under health science. I chose this career because the pay is more than enough to support a family and have enough for bills and fun. I also chose to be a veterinarian because I have always wanted to help and take care of animals. Making animals feel better is all I have wanted to do since I was at a young age. After researching the work environment, education and training, important qualities, and salary and outlook, I noticed that I want to work as a veterinarian.
Work Environment
There are so many easy and hard duties for being a veterinarian. Veterinarians have to examine animals to diagnose their health problems. Which mean veterinarians have to use x-ray machines or take blood tests and get the results back to find out what is wrong. After they find out what is wrong the veterinarian has to diagnose the animal with the problem. I think that would be easy for me because I like working with animals. Another duty a veterinarian has to do is perform surgery on animals. This means if the animal is sick or has something in its stomach then I would have to open the animal 's stomach and get the thing out. Which that means I would be preforming surgery. I sometimes get a little queasy with blood but if surgery would
Have you ever wondered what to do when your animal is sick? As well who take it to? Local Veterinarian Technicians are willing to assist both you and your animals. “If we wanted to go into it for the money we’d have become human doctors” (Oscar Chavez, DVM). A Vet Technician is an assistant to the the head vet. They will take blood test samples, give first aid and nursing to the animals. Help the doctors during a surgery. For example, delivering puppies in a c-section, the assistants will take the puppies and go clean them off.
Throughout the past few years, I have contemplated back and forth constantly of what it is I might want to be when I graduate from high school and college. At first I thought maybe a lawyer, but I soon realized that I am not the type of person to argue against others. Maybe I could be a doctor, but too many people are in that profession or want to be in that profession as it is. After a while of long, hard thinking, I decided that I would apply my love of animals to my future career path, therefor I decided that I wanted to be a Veterinarian. A Veterinarian is a person, much like a doctor, who cares for ill or injured animals. Examples of some of the duties Veterinarians do are dress wounds, perform surgery, diagnose diseases, and even
I chose the career of a Vet Technician. This job is often confused with the veterinarian or veterinary technologist. These two fields are totally different than a vet technician. Veterinarian required eight years of schooling, where the Veterinary technologist requires a bachelor degree in applied science. The job of an veterinary technician is to provide nursing care and assist surgeries for animals. Think of it as a human nurse, and a doctor, the vet tech assist the veterinarian in diagnosing illness and injuries. Some other jobs a veterinary technician might have would be preparing an animal for a surgery like a scrub with germicidal soap, sterilizing the surgical utensils, setting up a room
When people look back at their lives, a lot of them would like to think that they made a difference. One of these ways is by caring for an individual who could not take care of themselves. It would bring this person a sense of happiness and great relief knowing that they have done something to change an outcome, or potentially save a life. "Being a vet tech is a rewarding and life changing expierence" (Holmes 46) . Not only is being a vet tech rewarding and life changing, but it can help the world become a better place by saving one animal at a time. For someone who loves animals and spending time with them, being a vet technicians is the most suitable career choice.
I used to tell my friends and teachers that I wanted to explore the medical field because that was what my family wanted me to do. They wanted me to become a doctor as it is a well praised profession that pays extremely well. As I grew older and entered middle school, I realized that becoming a doctor wasn’t something I was immensely interested in. Instead of a doctor, I wanted to become a veterinarian, treating animals instead of people. I’ve become aware of my passion for animals ever since I began having pets: from fish to hamsters to dogs. I decided to focus on animals when I first took one of my hamsters to a veterinarian. I thought that their profession was fun and interesting because it revolves around animals, something that I love and grown up with. Although studying veterinary sciences is difficult and competitive, becoming an animal doctor has been one of my greatest
Many people choose this because they think that they will get to be around animals and spend time with them. That is true, but most technicians start out by cleaning out the cages of animals and preparing an area for surgery. Some, depending on how experienced and how your vet chooses, vet technicians can help during operations. This would take many years of doing the beginners work of cleaning up after the animals. Choosing to go for less schooling would of course make my salary lower.
From a very young, becoming a veterinarian has been a dream of mine. The love of animals coupled with the thought of helping those animals through suffering and having the opportunity to actually save one's life has been a motivator for the future. A veterinarian changes an animal’s life in more ways than one. They care for the health of animals. Veterinarians are also able to diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of not just pets but also livestock and wildlife ("Summary" U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). It goes beyond the annual vaccinations.
Animals have played a big part in my life, I have always had some sort of animal ever since I was born. Growing up I've had dogs, hamsters and fish and I have loved all of them deeply. This love for animals has showed me that I want to work with animals for the rest of my life. Becoming a Vet Tech is a great job because I get to see animals all day every day and I get to care and love for them.Vet Techs provide care for all animal's, anywhere from dogs, cats, exotic pets, lab animals and zoo animals. They help animals recover from injury, illness and help maintain animal's overall health. Vet Techs are commonly called ''nurses'' for animals, having the same jobs nurses have but just for animals.
Becoming a veterinarian takes a lot of hard work and many years of schooling, but it is an immensely satisfying job for those that are comfortable with and passionate about working with animals as well as people. Veterinarians offer medical care to by diagnosing and treating sick animals, which are often household pets, farm animals, and zoo animals. While looking into becoming a veterinarian, many factors of the job need to be taken into consideration: education and experience requirements, working facilities, job outlook, advancement opportunities, salary and wages, tasks performed, and advantages and disadvantages.
I picked this career because I’ve always had an interest in it. I am not financially set up to become a veterinary in livestock sadly. It will always be an option to me but for now, I have settled to become a Registered Nurse (RN). I would go to become a CNA, LPN, RN, and then possibly become a NP. Either way I’m still helping the sick. Whether it be animal or human. I enjoy helping those in need.
I love animals and I would love to work with them. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I would want to work with animals because they interested me so much. Becoming a veterinarian isn’t just about playing with dogs and cats all day; you are actually in charge of taking care of them and this is a no messing around job. You are responsible for whatever happens to that dog or any other animal. It’s a tough and serious job but I’m up for the challenge because it’s what I want to do for the rest of my
Being a veterinarian has many of hoops that I must jump through, such as; having important features that will help you throughout the career, different job duties depending on what field of being a veterinary you choose, the education I will need, challenges with clients, the pets themselves and an abundance of other things. There are also a great deal of benefits of the this job, which makes it all worth it. Becoming a veterinarian is the best job for me, because I love to be around animals and I love helping them in life.
When I was five, I didn't truly know what being a veterinarian entailed. As I have matured, I have done my best to ensure that this career path is right for me. In addition to taking agriculture classes to further my education in animal science, I have taken science-oriented classes such as anatomy and physiology and AP biology to learn about the medical aspects of the body.
There are many duties of being a veterinarian. Vets treat sick and injured animals. They also euthanize very old or sick animals. This way, animals can die in a relatively pain-free way. Preventive medical care is provied. They vaccinate and provide check-ups to make sure animals stay healthy. Vets give owners advice about animal care and breeding. Like doctors, vets may focus on a one area of medicine. Before becoming a veterinarian, a specific education is needed (“Veterinarian”).
Why I would like to be a Veterinarian is because you get to help pets and animals live and stay healthy at the end of the day don't you want to feel good about what you did that day. Vets are very important because they save lives and make animals live another day when hurt or just need a healthy body. All though a
