Being a veterinarian involves working with animals to diagnose and treat their health issues. Vets work in clinics as part of a team, earning $50,000 to $80,000 annually. To become a vet requires extensive education, including obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree and a Doctor of Philosophy degree, which demands years of study and a good GPA. A vet's work is unpredictable, as each animal's needs and reactions differ, so they must be prepared to address various situations each day. While rewarding to help animals, the job has challenges in its training requirements and uncertainty.

2. Being A Vet
Being a veterinarian can be fun, because
you get to work with many different animals.
Yes, that is true, but it isn’t always fun and
games. There are may steps to becoming a vet.
But it is all worth it.

3. What is a Veterinarian?
Vets are doctors that work with animals.
And if you have a pet, you have probably been
to the vet before to help your animal feel better
or to find out what might be wrong with it. Vets
work in big clinics and part of a team. As a vet
you get about 50 to 80 thousand dollars a year.
Plus, being a vet also involves lots of math and
science.

4. Working with Animals
Being a vet you might be able to work with
many different animals, big or small. But not all
work with big animals and not all work with
small animals, some work with zoo or wildlife
animals. Others work with households like dogs,
cats, hamsters, even fish. If a fish is sick or needs
a surgery or operation of some sort, vets use
special equipment to help them breathe outside
of water. Vets don’t always just help animals,
they teach animals too.

5. Training To Be A Vet
To be a vet you have to go through lots of
training and you have to get certain a doctorate,
a doctorate is a PhD. A PhD is one of the highest
degrees you can get in college. It stands for
Doctorate of Philosophy. You have to study hard
to get a B.S., a B.S. is a Bachelor of Science. And
you have to get a good Grade Point Average or
GPA. Plus an outstanding score on your SATs, an
SAT is a Standard Admission Test. Yes it does
sound like lots, but its all worth doing something
you love.

6. The Day of a Veterinarian
As a vet you never really know what the
day might bring. People, of course, make
appointments, but you don’t know what might
be wrong with the animal or what might have
happened to the animal. Plus the reactions you
get from the animals are unpredictable. Because
each animal has something different happen to
them and each animal will have a different
reaction to what's going on.

7. Conclusion
So we can conclude, that as a vet there are
many different things that happen to animals.
But being a vet can be very fun, as long as you
love, and love to help, animals. But its not all fun
and games as a vet; you need to have special
training and degrees. And it can be tricky, not
knowing what might happen that day.
