[QUOTE="showing71, post: 691361, member: 11621"] I don't think the problem with kids not wanting to become vets is the pay. Most kids wanting to become vets love animals and have ag backgrounds and know the importance of a good vet. The problem is actually getting into vet school. I have several friends who were going to be vets, had 4.0 GPAs, and could not pass the the interview process. Vet schools are making it extremely difficult to get in. Not only are you supposed to have nothing less than a 3.5 GPA, they also want you to be well rounded; so you have to stay on top of school work, while being involved in many clubs. I have been told by my sister-in-law to be (who will be going to the University of Minnesota next fall for vet school) that the requirements that were needed to go to vet school was almost too much for her and she had thought about quitting. She had to interview twice. I've also heard in certain schools, becoming a vet is almost harder to do than becoming a doctor. :? [/QUOTE]
