I'm thinking about going back to school...

Question

right now i'm a hairstylist which is alright but not very rewarding. I really love animals and thinking about becoming a vet tec. I've wanted to be a Vet since i was a child but became sort of a slacker after high school and becoming a hairstylist didn't involve much. Now looking back i wish i would've gone to school. i feel I'm to old to become a Vet but a Vet tec i think would be better or anything that involves animals even something with animal rescue.anybody know much about this or could give some advice. thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

Great to hear that you are willing to take the bold step to pursue your dreams. There are many jobs related to animals and do not feel that you have very few options. Some things you might want to ask yourself to help you narrow down your options is to find out what kind of animals would you want to work with.

All the best!

Answer 2

Apply for a trainee job and see if you get anywhere. Also try and volunteer with animals to see if you like it as much as you think you do.

Answer 3

If I were you I would go to night school to obtain a GED. After this go to community college where you could specialize in help the animals. Then you could become veterinary aide or tec. You could apply to the community after you have consulted a community college counselor. Hope this works out. The best of luck.
