Are you confused about a job? Well I picked a veterinarian here are my reasons why I picked a veterinarian. A veterinarian helps all animals and loves to help them stay alive.To become a vet you must have at least eight years of schooling. Then you have to take North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) and a state exam. A physical requirement for a veterinarian is being able to pick them up and placing them on tables. A personal requirement for a veterinarian is to have courage when dealing with animals that may bite, kick, or scratch.
Some skills to have as a vet are: decision making, communication, love for animals, and problem solving skills. The average salary is $120,000 for a veterinarian in Florida. You can get paid more with the more experience you have. The least you make as a veterinarian is $90,000 and the most is $200,000. Education only makes a difference in salary if you pick a special kind of treatment like a surgeon. Most vets work over 40 hours a week and sometimes do weekends or nights. This career can be found in any city. If you work on pets you can be inside. If you work on farm animals you will be outside.

A benefit of being a vet is you can help adorable animals and see them feel a lot better than when they came in. Some things that aren’t so great about being a vet are you can get puked on, seeing guts, being hurt, and putting them down can be sad. To advance in the field you can move to private practice and run your own clinic. You may have to learn how to run the business first. Every three years you have to complete 30 hours of continuing professional education in veterinary medicine. Some specific places you can work are the Belcher Animal Clinic and the East Bay Animal Hospital.
