Yes but an actor invariably doesn't spend 5 years racking up great debts at university. The point I am trying to make is that if you are one of the people now struggling to get a place at vet school then stop, and think. If you struggle to get in and struggle to get a degree then you will struggle to get a job. Not only this but wages will begin to fall. We want to be vets because of the glamorous jobs. It could well be that a lot of you graduating post 2011 will actually have to work in vaccination clinics or actually be forced into teaching etc.
I am not writing this to put off potential applicants,just making the point that it is worth thinking about these things rather than jumping head first into the decison before actually applying based on the 'guaranteed job' factor. As I mentioned in my previous post, DEFRA estimate the number of people with vet degrees being able to get jobs is going to be lower than people with philosophy degrees, think about it.
