So my whole life I have wanted to be a vet. Im a zoology major now, a Junior, but I still have another 2 years probably until I graduate because Ive changed my major so I got bumped back quite a bit. Well anyways... I wanted to say screw it on the whole vet thing because I wouldn't be done until Im about 27 or 28 and wanted to get my B.A. and just be done with it.

Well now my boyfriend is going back to school this fall for his second bachelors. This degree will not even be close to his first one so he is going to have another 3 years. So I'm going to be here anyways and now I hear that there is a massive shortage of farm vets in the midwest and the government is going to start giving out bonuses and paying moving expenses for vets who want to practice on farms there (we live in the midwest anyways). So NOW Im going back to thinking I should. I mean, we're going to be here anyways waiting on him to be done with school. Im over half way there and its only an extra 3 or 4 classes (so an extra semester) to get to B.S. instead of the B.A. Plus Im already taking the GRE just in case I decided to go get my masters or something. And there is a vet school a few hours north of here where I would be considered a resident so its not like I would have to totally relocate or anything.

I just can't decide if it's worth it or not. Its a really physical job with a lot of long hours and hard labor. But its something I have always had a passion for. But at the same time its like I JUST WANT SCHOOL TO BE OVER WITH! It feels like Im stuck in limbo because I still have so long until im done. Ugh I can't decide. I keep switching back and forth between wanting it and not wanting it.

Plus I already have the experience required for admission and my GPA is a 3.75 so the only thing I would have to worry about is the GRE. Im really stuck between a rock and a hard place. There are pros and cons to both sides and I just don't know which one I want more. to be done... or to finally be a vet like I have dreamed of since I was 5 years old. I have heard a lot of vets say if they could they wouldnt do it again because its not worth it. But those are all private practice vets who just see cats and dogs all day. I don't know if Im looking for advice or what. I kinda feel like if I talk about it out loud Ill find my answer. Thanks for listening (well.... reading lol)
