For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a veterinarian. When I was just a little girl I did not realize how much school I would have to go through to be able to be one. A veterinarian is someone who takes care of sick or injured animals and helps diagnose and treat the animals in a professional and knowledgeable way. In order to be a veterinarian the first main goal is to get a bachelors degree in biology, animal science, veterinary medicine, or something in that field. To get a bachelors degree it will take four years at a university. After they have earned that bachelors degree they will then need to continue to veterinary school. It's very competitive and difficult to get into veterinary school, therefore, for those first four years at a university they will have to have made sure that they have made good grades and have participated in volunteer work that deals with animals. Vet school takes around four years. In vet school you will go deeper into the field and it will help prepare you to be fully ready to become a veterinarian. They will then be able to get their license in veterinary. After vet school most people tend to do a 2-year internship at a veterinary office of choice. Employment of veterinarians is projected to grow 12 percent from 2012 to 2022. As the population grows, more veterinarians will be needed to inspect the food supply and to ensure animal and human health. After becoming a veterinarian and getting settled down in the job they will then start earning a salary. The median average of the salary in 2012 was 84,460 dollars. Also, the best-paid veterinarians were earning up to 144,100 dollars. Although the money in this field is extraordinary, in order to be a vet you should have the right skills and abilities or the job might not work out as well as planned. A passion for animals is something that is required in order to take on this job. This is the most important skill when being a vet. A customer will
