Veterinarian

Duties and Responsibilities:

          Veterinarians have a wide variety of career opportunities and deal with all types of animals. Job duties range from cleaning teeth and inspecting hooves to major surgery and animal euthanasia. In addition to an undergraduate degree, preferably in a science- or biology-related field, veterinarians must hold doctoral degrees in veterinary medicine, pass a national licensing examination and meet any other state-specific requirements for licensing or certification.

Salary:

          $86,640

Education:

          Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.); a baccalaureate degree is usually required for admission into a vet medicine program

Reflection:

          I think I would probably would like to be a vet because I love animals. The only downside is that I don’t like seeing them hurt so that would be really bad for me.
