If not a vet, then what?


I like to read some vet school student blogs and recently one of the girls was talking about how her friends switched from vet school to med school to become a neuro surgeon. 

If I decided to be a doctor instead of a vet, what kind should I be?

Like the veterinary program, the Army would pay for 100% of tuition plus a $2k month stipend and food/housing allowance. An added plus is the $20k sign on bonus. That sounds fun, pay for all my undergrad in one fell swoop. This would be a seriously good thing; I hate debt, and I tend to worry about money. 

Not like I'm the only person who worries about money. 

I wouldn't mind having a little family practice, non emergency kind a place where the appointment times were a bit longer and I could get to know my patients. 

I asked Sean what he thinks. Like always, he says he'll support whatever I choose to do. 

I love animals, I want to help them more than anything. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with vet, but I'm not going to shut off any opportunity that opens up. It's a great big world out there, we have to be open to the possibilities. 


Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."
