Also, volunteers are always needed to tutor or teach children, if that could satisfy your desire to teach younger students. My daughter is interested in veterinary medicine. It seems like there are many vets doing general veterinary medicine. I'm wondering if a specific area would be better to ensure a good job. A large percentage of veterinarians are in general medicine working with the pet population because they prefer to deal with small animals and work near or in populated areas.
Fewer graduates have a desire to work in rural and isolated places.
There are also many specialty areas in the field which might appeal to your daughter and possibly offer a better chance for a good job. She should first talk to practicing vets in Washington to identify specialty areas needed in your specific Geographic area, to clarify her best choices and the specialized training required for those choices. There are many books in your local library, which describe the type of work done in these special areas, the training required, income possibilities, etc. About Norma Zuber Norma Zuber is a Nationally Certified Career Counselor and a Registered Professional Career Counselor in California.
