Confession: There is a part of me that thinks I missed my calling as a veterinarian. I considered it, growing up--but when I got to college, I didn't "feel like" taking all that science.
if it makes you feel better? one of my college besties who is one of the toughest, most pragmatic people I know, routinely gets driven to tears and depression over veterinary work. she loves her job but it hurts.
Alternately, if going full vet seems too much work, there are other paths -- vet tech, animal behaviorist, groomer, rehab specialist, it all depends on what it is that draws you to vet med.
I liked the solving little mysteries aspect of it, plus the 'I fix animals!' so combining the veterinary diagnostics I do for work with being a high needs cat foster scratches the itch for me without the potentially lethal stress.
(Also tbh I'd need to get my ADHD medicated to handle the focus needed for the sheer amount of rote memorization the first year and second year vet students here get hit with.)
This quarter is psyc, human development. Last quarter I took statistics. I cannot comprehend how I once took a full course load while working full time and still had hobbies and regular D&D.
I've done my taxes, started my next class, and done some more reading I had to do
Joy said I should get a job like, as a receptionist but I just don't think that'd feel like ENOUGH for me
I mean part of why I am where I am today is my refusal to make decisions
