Changing careers and going back to school

[makbike]

If you have not worked in a vet clinic I would suggest you secure a job in a clinic. Working in a clinic will allow you see exactly what is involved. Second, securing a job in a vet clinic will also give you some practical hands on experience which will help you if you decide to go vet school.

What about a vet tech degree coupled with your chemistry courses? Just tossing out some ideas not sure if they are helpful or not.

Congrats. for seriously considering changing careers and maybe going back to school.

Would be useful to work in a vet clinic first. Obviously this would be a radical pay cut or take on such a job, part-time..if possible. Or have present job part-time and vet clinic job part-time.

I haven't truly switched jobs but have had to relocate to another province for a job at this stage in life --moving on to 52 soon. It's not the best situation but not the worst either.

It's abit strange to hear people around my age talk about early retirement. I can't consider it.
