"To become a veterinarian I think you just basically need to be a good student especially as far as math and science goes and more importantly I think that it is very important to develop good study habits because once you get through high school and you get into college and you don't have the small class sizes you kind of get lost in the shuffle once you get to college because you don't have the ability to go to the instructor whenever you please, you have to make an office hours appointment to see him to talk to him to make sure that you understand the material that is being covered so study habits is the biggest thing and just being a good solid student. I think you need to be a people person. Most people say I'd like to be a veterinarian because I don't like dealing with people. What you don't realize when that statement is made is that all of your interaction is with the pet owner and you have to be able to communicate well with people. You also have to be able to help explain what the issues are with the pet such that they understand what they are getting into as far as treatment, surgery, etc. Most people practice veterinarian medicine throughout their lives and those people who want to get further education will return to school in some instances after being in practice for a few years or ten years to develop a specialty. There is internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, surgery, etc. Therefore it is limitless and it just depends on the motivation of the individual."
