I graduated from Zoology with a 2.1 and placement year (but that was fully molecular lab work) and am finding there are no animal-related careers I want to go into. . . apart from becoming a vet.
At the end of my AS levels I was speaking with my biology teacher about vet med, but she said I hardly any experience (true) and my grades weren't exceptional - she suggested animal sciences/zoology but never suggested a gap year to gain the animal exp I needed (teachers just want people to go to uni so it looks good on the school records). Anyway I can't do anything about the past now, I got 3 A's at A2 (Maths, Chem, Bio) and did Zoology.
Now I was wondering how I can get into vet med (I know its crazy expensive).
Should I do vet nursing first?
I think I'll get an animal-related job to save money, go into vet nursing and then save for vet med which I think will be ~4 years after degree. Some people have said it's more competitive but I'm not sure about that?
TLDR: Any suggestions for Zoology graduate (2.1) (3 As at Alevels - Maths, Chem, Bio) wanting to become a vet?
