heyy i'm in high school , looking at colleges and trying to figure out what i want to do with the rest of my lifeeee. I have a few thought of what i would like to do and one of them is becoming a vet.
I've always loved animals, and science but i'm not really sure what going to veterinary school entails. I was wondering if anyone new if there are certain high school science classes that are required, what kind of college classes you would need tot take before getting into vet school and things like that.
Please don't answer with well i think blah blahh but i'm not sure, because i really want to get the facts. Thanks sooooo much!!!!

People aspiring to be vets need to be directly involved in Math and Biology during high school and specialize in University.
It's also a lot harder to get into vet school rather than medical college, and experience in dealing with animals and community service in say, an animal shelter would look good on the applications.
4 years of college are required followed by 4 years of veterinary medicine.
Jobs and the practice depends on your specialization, your choosing of a particular animal to treat or perhaps a general vet.
Courses required are usually described in detail in the college application necessities that you are applying to. Some require extra classes and courses that have to be taken prior to applying. Others depend solely on academically involved principles.
On the whole being a vet takes a lot of studying.
Research the whole field carefully before deciding what you would like to specialize in.
