Veterinarian

Duties and Responsibilities:

Some of the responsibilities that veterinarians have are to administer vaccinations, do health check ups, clean teeth, fix broken bones, treat skin infections and perform surgery on animals. Some veterinarians prefer to visit the countryside where there are many ranches. On these ranches it is their job to inspect the living spaces of the animals and ensure that they are as free as they can be and as safe from any locations that can infect the animals. However, some veterinarians have to perform the uglier job that is giving a lethal injection to animals that are terminally ill, or too old to even continue daily activity. This can be a much darker experience from being a veterinarian.

Salary:

A veterinarian can make anywhere from $86,000 to $93,000 USD. The pay can also vary on the location of their work or the state/country of their work.

Education:

To become a veterinarian you must first complete four years of college and acquire a bachelor’s degree. The classes they must major under are zoology, molecular biology, chemistry, animal science and bio chemistry. They must then attend and complete a four year Doctor Of Medicine program. Now they must get a license, and they are now ready to become a licensed veterinarian.

Demand:

The need for veterinarians will increase by 9% each year. This is much faster than normal jobs and will mean you will be payed more and more as the years go by.

Reflection:

I would become a veterinarian because it seems like a job that can have you stable, and I also have a passion for helping animals. I find it very sad when there is animal that is being abused or is sick and no one helps. That is why I would very much be a veterinarian.
