From everything you have shared, not only in this post but in others, I would say that you should probably think long and hard about whether becoming a vet tech is really the best career choice for you. You have posted about having a lot of trouble managing your own cat and getting really frustrated with him/her, you have already dropped out of vet tech school once, you struggle with emotional regulation, you have trouble in school unless you have additional tutoring, and you have been fired from three previous jobs. Becoming a vet tech not only requires a lot of hard work to earn the degree, but also a lot of discipline and patience on a daily basis with animals who won't want to cooperate with you. Those are skills that seem to be particularly difficult for you. There is also a lot of communicating with pet owners who are going to upset (their pets are sick!) and angry about the costs (it's super expensive!)-- how are you going to handle difficult customers in those situations? From what you have shared in other posts, you seem to have a pretty short fuse and revert quickly to name-calling and swearing. I'm sure there are a lot of careers that you could succeed at, and that you have a lot of strengths. Just thinking realistically based on what you've shared, I'm not sure that being a vet tech suits your particular skillset.
