Imagine yourself saving animals one day at a time. It might be hard, but you will get that amazing feeling of knowing you did something good for someone else. Veterinarians are a key role in society now a day. People don’t realize all the good they do for the public. Duties, tasks, qualities, salary, benefits, attire, education, and working conditions are major components in deciding whether you could do this job.
There are a variety of duties and tasks that veterinarians do. Since they never know what they will be doing that day they have to always be prepared for whatever walks in the door. People think that they just check over an animal and tell the owner what they are doing well and what they need to fix, but veterinarians do much more. They have to determine diseases, prescribe medications, prevent diseases, collect data from animals, interpret new problems, set bones, dress wounds, and many more things that. The list goes on and on because they never know what they need to do. Those are some of the simpler things this occupation has to handle. More of the complex tasks of this job would be delivering newborn animals, performing surgery, interpreting x-rays, and many more things that are also too extensive to include. These are just things that involve solving the problems of animals. Most people don’t realize that veterinarians have to attend lectures, conferences, and meetings so they can continue learning about new things they need to preform.
To be a Veterinarian certain qualities are needed to be successful. They are usually natural born qualities. One of the main qualities a Veterinarian needs to have is problem solving. They are faced with new problems every day and they need to use their prior and current knowledg...

...arians work on finding cures for diseases, new treatments, and more efficient ways to do their job. Schedules for veterinarians are very hectic. They often work long hours starting early in the morning and ending late at night. There will also be emergency calls constantly because people obviously can’t predict when their animals are going to get hurt or sick. The average amount of work is 40 to 50 hours per week.
Now that I have researched this occupation I would be very interested. The idea of traveling different places to work seems like the perfect day. Also the salary and benefits seem like they would be right for me. A lot of the things about this career were pretty predictable except for the education. I didn’t know you needed so much education to be a veterinarian. I really liked researching this job and I can see myself working in this field in my future!
Vet Tech has always been an option for me, helping animals is something that is very interesting. It was introduced in 1989, the AVMA officially adopted the name “Vet Tech.” In 1998, emergency vets debut on Animal Planet. And in 2008, student population grows from 500 to 700. There are about 17,000 people employed in the career field chosen. Some of the common trends of the job would be, working at Zoos, Aquariums, Boarding Kennels, and Wildlife sanctuaries. These jobs are usually found working in an animal clinic or hospitals and sometimes at farms because that is the “normal” areas for this occupation. In this career there are some general duties such as: Observe animals behavior and conditions, Provide nursing care, Bathe animals, Clip nails, groom animals hair, keep animals calm during exams or procedures. The more specific duties of the job would be to: take x-rays of animals and develop them, get utensils and prepare the animals for surgery, keep and record patient's history. Most of the clinics are open 24 hours. There is not anything that is unusual about the number of hours/nature of the job. (Bls.gov.vettech)

Many people have lost their pets and close family members because there is no way to get the help or medical attention that the animal so desperately needed. Every day in the United States, veterinarians are working hard to save animal’s lives. People will always continue to want and to breed pets. Therefore, to help and cure all these pets, a steady stream of veterinarians will be needed for many years to come. Over the years, the requirements and processes to becoming a veterinarian have changed. To become a successful veterinarian one must complete all necessary education and on the job training, be friendly and love animals, and have a burning passion to help both the pet and the pet owner.
Equine veterinarians inspire others by working long hours in dangerous conditions and sticking with them until the patient is in good health.
Vets need a strong foundation in science. Have sufficient skills in mathematics to succeed in chemistry. Veterinarians also must be able to think in a logical manner, with reasoning the cause of an effect and vise versa. Compassion and a caring nature are personal attributes that can contribute to a veterinarian 's success, yet they also must be able to perform difficult tasks, such as euthanizing an animal to end it’s suffering. They must always strive to learn more and expand their knowledge base. However, in addition to having a very strong understanding of medicine and surgery, they must be compassionate, and a good listener. Deb also feels a good veterinarian must be able to separate their work and home life. The job can be emotionally very challenging and in order to avoid compassion fatigue and job dissatisfaction. A good vet needs to know that when they go home, they must focus on personal and family well being. Dr, Piepgras favorite part of what she does is the human animal bond that is formed, and being able to facilitate that bond through preventative health care for their pets. She also enjoys tche intellectual challenge associated with practicing
Veterinarians uses medicine to diagnose, treat diseases and dysfunction of animals. Medicine used such as antibiotics and vaccines. A veterinarian’s role in their career is to help and serve also trying to find a new treatment to disorders for humans and animals. Some vets teach other people or other vets how to do something.
I chose veterinary technician because I think it will suite me best; moreover later in life I can always go back to school to be a veterinarian whether then get the degree and not use it. I think veterinary technicians have important roles because the doctor will always need assistance with an animal and I would like to be on the side where I will not have to give shots or put them to sleep. Watching an animal get put to sleep is the hardest thing anyone could ever have to see or deal with. I can not be the one to put an animal to sleep it would hurt me to much no matter how much the job needed to be done. Working at the vet as a senior I have seen many gruesome things that veterinarians have to do; however the worse I have seen is the rabies observations. A rabies observation is for an animal that bit someone and depending on how bad the bite is depends on what route they choose to take. This animal had bitten someone pretty bad so they chose the route of putting it to sleep and they doctor had to cut the head off. After the animal 's head was off they stored it in the refrigerator and the next morning was sent of to a laboratory for testing on the neurological part of the brain; moreover it was the worst experience I have had while working at a veterinary clinic. That day I thought to myself I
A Veterinarian Technician (vet techs) can have a rough life when the job involves saving animals. However the job takes, schooling, commitment, and having passion and love for animals. Being able to work and handle animals is a dream come true; it allows people to see what a pet could do for it’s handler. Maintaining a job that researches certain illnesses and broken bones allows a veterinarian technician to help animals in need. This helps bridge the gap between environment and families all over the world who love animals.
In one way or another, I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Growing up, I was completely dedicated to animals, caring for what could be considered a mini zoo. Naturally, as a child, I was set on a career as a veterinarian. Like most children, I was naive about the veterinary profession, but I had plenty of people to warn me about its challenges. Albeit initially discouraged from becoming a veterinarian, my search for a meaningful career not only revived my spark for veterinary medicine but also gave me the maturity and experience necessary to succeed in it.
When she was little she could only dream of becoming a veterinarian. Now she is fulfilling her dreams as a Veterinary Technician. "Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life”(Henry Hernandez). Being a Veterinary Tech is really a lot of fun as long as you are passionate love with animals. One reason to become a Veterinary Tech is because they get to meet new animals and take care of them too. This career is very important because the well-being of animals is just as important as the well-being of humans(Vet Tech Guide). Animals need to be thought of humans just in a different shape. Loving, respecting, and comforting animals is just a small part in the career of a Veterinary Technician; being detail oriented, strong, and being educated are also very important qualities for a veterinary technician to have.
For as long as I can remember, my childhood dream has always been wanting to become a veterinarian. While other kids were outside having fun at the playground, I was at the library reading books and learning about the different animals. However, as I matured, I realized that being a veterinarian isn’t just about caring for and assisting injured animals. Being a veterinarian means having the ability to make quick decisions in stressful situations, showing complete dedication and passion to this profession, and being able to effectively communicate to pet owners.
For someone to be a large animal veterinarian and do the job well, one must have a passion for animals. You must have business skills and interpersonal skills. You need a passion for animals because you will work with them everyday for the
When I was growing up and always playing with animals, I realized what I might want to do with my life. Since animals are, for the most part, vulnerable and helpless, they need someone to take care of them. For animals in need to survive and carry on, there must be a caring person willing to take time out of their day to care for these animals. This person is responsible for providing care such as feeding, cleaning, giving water and administering medication to animals in veterinary offices, zoos, laboratories or animal hospitals. This person is called a veterinary assistant (Writer).
Qualities that I believe are needed to be a good veterinarian are patience and tact, assertiveness, humility, and the capacity to think critically. The first two attributes are essential when having to explain something complex and announce bad news to pet owners. They are also put to use when doing lengthy or delicate procedures and when restraining animals properly to avoid harming them. Assertiveness allows owners to trust that you are making the best decisions. This quality is also essential because it keeps you from hesitating too much when a choice must be made under pressure. This decisiveness should be balanced out with sufficient humility to allow one to know when to pass a case on to a more qualified expert. It is also the trait that
