I have been sitting here at work the last few weeks thinking about getting my masters. I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science, minor in Business. I have been working at my job now for almost 1yr... i test software. I dunno if i can do this the rest of my life. I choose a computer major because i didnt know any better and i think in my opinion i was tooo young to decide what type of job i wanted to do. I'm having such mixed feelings now.... since i was small i always wanted to be a Veterinarian. Ever since my 1st pet (I was about 8yrs old or so) (it was a rabbit because my mom wouldnt let me get a dog) got sick one day and was just laying there. I hated not knowing what was wrong... i felt helpless. From that minute i always told everyone i wanted to be a Veterinarian. I then went to high school and slacked off. I got mostly C's and B's. I didnt even take any hard science classes because i didnt wanna try or fail them. I took a lot math though because i was good in it. I then went to college near my house and just took computer classes because i found then interesting. I thought being a Veterinarian would be too hard for me. Anyway... Lately i feel like i regret not following through with what i wanted to do orginially and that was to be a Veterinarian. I looked online at colleges that offer Veterinarian degrees and i was curious about a few things... What is the difference between a D.M.V. and a V.M.D.?? I always thought a D.M.V. was better?!
I also read about the programs and how to get accepted. You need 5-6 different core classes from another college (cal, biology, etc.). I was wondering what is involved with Physics? I was just curious if those future Veterinarians on here have any opinions of the classes... other than you really have to study. I was also looking at colleges that are around my area.... there is not a big selection. I was wondering if anyone knows any information on these colleges Ross University school of veterinary medicine (i saw somewhere its in NY but the address is edision, NJ??? why?), Pennsylvania State University Department of Veterinary Science, University of Pennsylvania. I know that Cornell is the best... but thats soo far from here in NJ...
Anyway... any info would be great. i'm just brain storming here....
ohh.. and could those going to school still... explain the process you went through for school.... like residencies and in what order you completed things.
