If you love zoology and medicine, and if you care for animals and would enjoy taking care of them, then it is the right choice of a career.

When you are talking about the "university test", do you mean the ACT/SAT or GRE?  I don't know what you mean exactly.  Nevertheless, whatever test you speak of, you need to do well in comparison to others.\n\nUndergrad subjects to learn:  Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Bio), Microbiology, Nutrition, Physics, and the basic courses - or, in general, how the body is put together, how it works, and how things all come together.\n\nVet School:  Anatomy, Physiology, Reproduction, Nutrition, Histology, Internal Medicine, Species Specific Medicine (i.e. Swine, Cattle, Poultry), Food Safety/Public Health, Surgery, etc.   Again, how the body is put together, how it works, how it goes wrong, and how to fix it.\n\nWhat is involved with being a vet?  It depends on what you want to do.  It can vary with species.  There is the general dog/cat vet.  But some work on pigs specifically.  Swine vets often work with producers with the environments, breeding, nutrition, and disease outbreaks.  They also do necropsies when there are deaths in the herd.  However, there is also the public health side to veterinary work.  And commercial (drug companies, nutrition companies), government, etc.  \n\nI cannot tell you what universities there are in Australia.  Contact a local veterinarian for information with that.  And while you are there, get experience.  That is very important.  It is also good if you can get experience with several species.\n\nGood luck.

Here is a very good site from the American Veterinary Medicine Association.  It tells all about how to become a veterinarian.  Good luck with your career planning!\n\nhttp://www.avma.org/careforanimals/animatedjourneys/aboutvets/becomingvet.asp

UC Davis- Texas A&M-\n\nHave to enter a pre-professional program before actually getting into vet school- So, at least 7-8 years of schooling. Figure it in at- at least 15,000 a year- its pretty steep but worth it. : )

Go to your nearest community college, get a copy of the curriculum offered and ask to make an appointment w/an career advisor.  They can give you a test to help determine your best academic field and interests.  Hopefully, you'll find a health care profession interesting to you as there are openings in the health care field all over the country.  Vet tech is another field that is growing with a wide range of possibilities.  Good luck!

Yeah if you go to school, there is no other way, you have to go to school in order to get the degree. Because you have to learn alot about the anatomy of every single species of animals, it will be hard, but it will be worth it. I say go for it. My sister is a vet asst. and she has a fun time, but she does not make a lot.Being a doctor is not for everyone, but if you dont mind the constant testing then you should be ok.

The requirements depend on the institution you obtain your degree at however it is essentially a biology degree that focuses on the animal kingdom.\n\nAs far as careers go there are many.\nAny zoo or animal sanctuary requires many people with such a degree for operation.  State and Federal agencies like the Fish and Game and Department of Natural Resources have positions available for them as well.\nOf course zoology is an excellent precursor to obtaining a Doctorate in Veterinarian studies too.\n\nBut to answer your sub question yes, you could work at a zoo planning diets and curing their ailments.

Well, it is very hard to get into a vet course and it is harder than a becoming a doctor.  The courses are very popular.  You are best taking Biology and Chemistry to go with it.  Maths is a good bet too!  Oh, and don't forget you need lots of animals experience to get in - thats what they look for!  So get a job in a kennels or a farm etc.  Good Luck!

You could continue with your education to become a vet or work in medicine, you could probably swing a job at a pharmacy, or you could be a zookeeper or you could do research, that is, if you continued with your education. You could also teach middle and secondary school.

You are senior and you have no idea where to look to get the answer to this question. I recommend start off by looking and the requirements needed to get a veterinarian degree.

by schooling, i would assume you mean "special" schooling. You can check with your local vet, but i believe they do have assistants who are not graduates of vet. medicine.  Of course, it probably would only be tending the cages and such, but they may have training programs that will count towards a degree in veterinary school.

If you want to be a veterinarian, you need to get experience with animals.  It is best to work for a veterinarian for the experience, as well as making a contact (since you will probably need a veterinarian to write a letter of recommendation for you).  As you said, a good GPA is important, but some colleges are trying to focus more on the whole package.  So, good grades, involvement, projects, experience, a good personality....  You should also contact the veterinary colleges you are interested in and get info on what they are interested in.

Becoming a Vet is along the same as becoming a MD.  You need good math, reading, chemistry and biology as well as all around good grades. \n\nYou should spend time with a variety of animals to see if you're really capable of doing the required things.  How about volunteering with the Humane Society to start out?  Walk the dogs, bathe, feed, and observe.  Be certain you aren't too squeamish to handle animals and exotic pets...... A Vet has to be able to care for them all, not just cute little dogs and cats but also horses, cows, mice, ferrets,  and snakes........\n\nYou may want to start as a Vet Tech instead.  That way you can learn how medicines are put together and what they do to help or hinder......... Check these things out on the net.\n\nIt's a great goal.  You must be persistent and willing to devote your time to study instead of pleasure.  The rewards will come later.  Good luck!
