[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1792128, member: 16453"] I don't know what the proportion of new graduate Vets are male/ female or other but over here the last I heard the females greatly outnumbered the males, where I believe they do a great job, very much by the book. The fact is that they are female and for most will become pregnant and then have the responsibility of nurturing their offspring, children to pick up from childcare or after school care, these are deadlines that have to be met. I know in this day and age their male partners are supposed to have an equal responsibility but more often than not this still falls on the female partner so a 9-5 job and responsibilities seem to be more attractive. This equal responsibility also flows onto male vets so very few of them with family responsibilities want to work outside the 5 day week, 9-5 job also. There are still some dedicated vets that will go above and beyond but they are few and far between entering the system these days so as you see your old style Vet retiring or winding down there will be few available to take their place..
