I’m aiming for entering a profession in the future where I can help animals, especially wild ones. I want to dedicate my life to preserving and healing wildlife, as cheesy as that sounds. As a child I always wanted to be a vet, but I’m not sure if I could handle the pressure of performing surgery, where one small mistake could end their life. That really scares me.. How many other professions with animals are there?
1O points to anyone who can list the largest amount of ideas! =)
