well what are your particular interests in relation to animals or the profession? Are there any current animal/farming issues which you would like to find out more info?

Do something which you find appealing as then you will find it easier and will be able to enjoy doing it and get a better grade.

Something which is very topical in the profession at the moment is mental health in vets and vet students. The suiide rate in vets is the highest either 3 or 4 times higher than the national average (I can't remeber exactly). It's a very tough profession to be in. I'm a vet who has recently left traditional practice for a job with a far better quality of life (although I'm still a vet). PM me if you need any pointers x
