[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 115976, member: 1604"] Dun, A few weeks ago I visited with Dr. Carson at Auburn Univ. They have a world class vet school and Dr. Carson is the one who interviews each and every vet school candidate and is a big factor in who gets in the school. He relayed the fact to me that there is a big problem now because there are not enough men wanting to get into vet school because they can go to school for 4 years, get an engineering degree and come out making $80,000 to $100,000 per year. A vet starting out will make approx. $50,000. Plus the fact that not enough men have the grades for vet school. Most of the applicants for the vet school are women and prefer small animal or a horse business. He told me there are small communities that contact him with an offer of a house and facilities for a starting bovine vet practice in their area. The communities will deed the facilities over to the vet after their contract is completed. The enrollment in the vet school now is 2-1, women over men. Cattle Veterinarians will be in short supply when some of the olders ones are gone. That's for sure. A very good topic you brought up, and an incentive for young men to study hard. [/QUOTE]
