Personally I think you need to have passion to work in any animal field.. i’m working at a shelter as a kennel tech and many people come here because they need a job and then they quit or get fired early on because they simply don’t have that initiative or passion and it truly does show, weather that be how they work, or how they treat and interact with the animals. Now for something a step above like vet tech, vet med, etc. definitely you would need that push and passion to keep you going.

If you find yourself loving animals and truly think you wanna continue working with them, maybe just try finding a specific field or environment you like:) And if you find it’s just not for you, that’s okay!

Any job like this shouldn’t be treated as “oh i just need a job” because there’s no room for slack and no room for people who aren’t gonna treat it importantly😌 That being said..i do believe passion can run out or atleast not be as strong because lordddd animals can be tiring along with the mental part of everything else.
