[QUOTE="TCFC, post: 73546, member: 1365"] Hi guys, looking for an honest opinion here. I am currently in pre-vet, and hoping to be accepted into vet school in the near future. I really want to work with large animals, however, I have my doubts if it will be possible, and I am trying to decide what I want to do for sure. You see, I did not grow up on a farm working with large animals (especially cattle!) consistently, I am relatively new at this, and taking every opportunity I can to read up, learn and get as much hands on experience as possible. (This forum is GREAT for it!) I worked with horses mainly, but due to where I lived, working with cattle was not possible until recently. (Why did the parents have to move me from Stettler, Alberta to Nova Scotia :lol: ) My question is, I know farmers have great respect for their vets,and are quite picky about who they choose. How possible is it for someone who has not grown up working with large animals consistently, but has simply learned everything in lets say the 8 years of vet school, to be respected in the industry. It seems like a lot of people around me have grown up in this environment... I hope I have made sense here... most likely not :oops: Anyways, any opinions would be great :) Thanks a TONNE!
