[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 116108, member: 2063"] I really like this thread! I have a daughter, she is only 11 but she says she wants to be a vet and I keep encouraging her. We are lucky in our area we have very good and a fair amount of large animal vets. As far as the discussion of lowering the standards or providing incentives, I have a personal experience to relate. I did not attend college right out of high school, got started with babies first. I wanted to be an accountant tho also. I went to school part-time as we could afford it and I graduated with a double major bachelor of science in accounting and management. It took me several years and I was always working full time as well. After a couple of years with some schooling I was able to have a job working as a bookkeeper, and as I got close to graduating I was hired by a local public accounting firm. I learned more in my first 6 months with the public firm at my new job than I learned all through my college years. I know that college lays the foundation...but real on the job experience will teach you more than a classroom ever will. IMHO I believe the same would hold true in the veterinary world. I don't think they should lower any standards....as my husband reminds me....nothing worth having is easy to get. I understand the incentives in recent years given for different professions...nursing or teachers. I would agree an incentive for vets sounds like a pretty good idea.... [/QUOTE]
