I am going back to school!
« on: August 12, 2005, 01:24:26 pm »
Only this time I am doing my research first! Ok so there is a college that offers a 2 year vet tech program. I wouldn't be going until sept 2006, but that is ok as I need to get my transcripts and they require 80 volunteer hours in a vet clinic and you need to do a career research essay as well, so I would have my appication ready in time. But it does need to be in by Oct for next sept! But I am so excited about this, I have the course outline and everything, it covers small and large animals, behaviour, pharmacology ect. It sounds soo interesting, why did I not do this before!!!

Oh and the Lab resue place called me and I may have a foster soon!!! I have to call her back and she is going to interview me first but I should know my tonight.

Thanks to all of you for all the advice you have given me. Hmm if BPO had never come along, I would have never gotten involved in rescue and found my true passion. Kinda goes to show you that everything happens for a reason huh ;D

that would be cool!  I was thinking about that last night.  I wish I had become a vet instead.

I know it's a long ways off. ... but Congrats and Good Luck.

 I started in Psyc too, and then I left as I realized that you need a maters or PHd do be able to do anything with the degree, and I lost interest. MY class sizes were huge 300+ and tuition keep increasing, I didn't want to be 80k in dept my the end of it.

Psyc is cool!  I have a minor in it.  I loved it but I ended up thinking I had a few mental issues.  :)

HAHAHAHA!!!  It did that to me too!!! I'd be like, "Oh, that sounds like me!!!"

the professors said you would self analyse yourself and end up being so desperately unbalanced you'd want to check yourself in.

Oh Nina I am soooo  happy for you, and it seems to be working out prefect. gives you time to get your hours in and do the research. Is the school close to where you live. Or do you have to travel a lot?

Now hurry up and get that vet. tech degree, we could definately use one here on the board  :D

Mind you, I am sure the three of you who have psyc experience can see that we might need that even more hehe

Do you need us to write you letters of recommendation?  Think they'd understand??? Maybe we all need to have our heads examined!

Nina - I think that is great!!!!!  Just keep your eye on the goal.. you will get there.  I emailed this Lady in Seattle who was a lawyer - decided she hated it and went back to school to become a vet.  She is in her last year in vet school now.. She breeds danes also that is how I found her.
