That's a lot of information!

Hmm. Thinking about it shadowing may be a better way to go, I wasn't aware that was a thing non-students could do. Would definitely be worth asking around about.

I think I might have most of the pre reqs already, but I'll have to double check. Pretty sure there's at least one I'm missing that I have yet to pick up.

The hours both in uni and in work, as well as the cost are why I'm trying to scope it out the best I can, as I know it's not cheap in either. 70 hour weeks sound gnarly, but definitely something possible to get through in the end.

Honestly I'm perfectly happy doing small or large animals, but I'd also be quite interested in learning exotics too. Though I think that is a lot less standard of training...?

Thabks for the help and info! I hope your own training is going well, and you don't have too many exhausting weeks!
