My dad tried to steer several people to dental school or even PT school but they were adamant to go to vet school. The majority of them were female too, go figure. They have to nurture their love of animals but bury themselves to their eyeballs in debt without knowing it. I would love for parents to actually parent and tell their kids just how much debt that is before they make a regrettable decision.

He owned Watson Pet Hospital until about 6-7 years ago when he sold it and he works at Sherwood South now. But I'm sure he's still in touch with the guy who bought it and I could try and pull some strings.

That's another part of it. Going into veterinary medicine in a city with a veterinary school does not create great local prospects.

My best friend's wife had to move them to Austin for her to work. And other of her fellow graduates went all over the place - Alaska, Texas, the northeast, among others. I don't think a single one of her friends stayed around BR, but if they did it's a minuscule percentage.

Sorry to shite all over her profession and I wish y'all the best of luck. I honestly see some fundamental changes coming to colleges in the next 10 years, especially undergrad. The internet is making it very obsolete and expensive. It's becoming a very poor investment for people who don't want to go into a STEM field.
