Additional Information
If I could get any tips about good schools to attend or any extra courses I can take to benefit in the Animal Care/Veterinary career field I would greatly appreciate it. This is my passion since a very small child. Before I could comprehend the job world my parents would ask what I wanted to be. Since I did not understand the true meaning of the question I always said a dog since my love for them was so high. Once I found out I could not change species I decided I wanted to be in the Veterinarian field. The more knowledge I have the better so any tips, websites pages, or schooling courses you know of that I can take that may help me benefit I would be very grateful for.
