lets be a veterinarian rocket scientist prostitude

The idea of a career has never appealed to me. It kind of puts off the whole 'be all you can be' imo. I mean how many people do you see after they get there masters in jerking off do u see continuing to educate themselves in different subjects? I could only name 2 or 3 at best that I've personally met in my lifetime. Instead they choose to isolate themselves into one subject, go knee deep into it and think they've already worked towards an abundance of knowledge. This idealogy leaving most useless when confronted by a situation outside of their profession. Minds abit mumbled, ill try to clarify later--

ANYWAY

I planned on getting into pharmacology/pharmacy but I'm now a bit hesitant due to how easy a medical license can be suspended or even revoked here in california. Drug charges in particular, I being a "drug seeker" fear that one day ill get caught up and that pathway would be burned.It won't stop me from educating myself in the subjects but I wouldn't aim for those particular careers anymore.

So I've always had a large interest in physiology/anatomy. I enjoy working with sciences, however am pretty bad with mathematics but I'm determined in doing whatever it takes to get to the 'goal'. Anyway id love to have a job involving that said above, I'm a bit curious about veterinarians, coroners actually. I dunno.

update: [ethno]botany seems interesting.

 

I think I agree with you. I recently took a job in academia (physiology/pharmacology) and as I've gotten to know people here, I've been surprised, disappointed actually, by seeing so many with masters or PhDs who have no knowledge or interest in anything outside of their own highly speciallized subject. It's as though everyone has an Asperger's-like obscession with their ONE subject and choose to ignore everything else. Doing top notch work and getting funding takes up so much time and energy, but still you would think that more people would at least have a hobby or something. That's probably my biggest complaint so far about working in academia. I think people who are well-rounded are in the minority here.

As for vetmed, getting in is exttremely competitive and tuition is high. I"m not sure how good job prospects are. Especially if you want to work with large animals and don't want to go into a parnership and be paying off student loans for the rest of your life.

 

Thanks for the input socko,

As far as what little viable knowledge I have about being a vetenirarian, id be working with small animals, of course if that is for me to decide. Money seems to be a huge factor when driving towards anatomical studies and you said definitely helps

Teaching the subjects doesn't sound to horrendous at this point, but then again I'm very much widely open to suggestions

 

Have we met? Strange Deja Vu...
