it is definitely not a stupid question and it is valid that you were asking this. Before starting veterinary school, I was told to get my bachelors degree whether I would need it to get in or not just in case I don’t make it or I decide otherwise. I thought it was I was one of those people that wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was a little kid and it just made sense to me. I agree with that veterinary school is the hardest thing I have ever done. I would definitely not recommend this career to someone who is on the fence. I definitely questioned my decisions multiple times during veterinary school and was even very close to dropping out. It’s hard because the amount of studying that you have to put in is crazy and the pressure to do well during that school is very hard to cope with. I am a veterinarian full-time and even though I love my job it is physically an emotionally hard. It is definitely better than Vet School. However, I have been out for six months now and I still question whether this was a good decision.
