註釋So you want to be a vet? is written for prospective and current students of Veterinary science in Australia and New Zealand. It is the first book to provide a concise overview of the various university courses available, how to apply and how to survive and thrive during the course of your study. Furthermore, this concise resource provides insight into what to expect when you graduate and the rigours and demands of life as a vet, whether in suburban practice or in rural environments. Content includes entry requirements, selection processes, a brief overview of each university offering vet science in Australia and New Zealand, and a general introduction to course content. It discusses the life of veterinary students and of new graduates and explores some of the challenges you may face plus many strategies to help you to cope. These topics include maintaining a work/life balance, funding and employment through the course, coping with stress, workloads, time management and the very significant extramural requirements. The book also covers career options and employment prospects, alternatives to veterinary science, anticipated remuneration levels and challenges for the future. Importantly, this succinct and accessible guide aims to provide a pragmatic and realistic view of what a career in veterinary science entails. While being a vet is a great occupation, Eric Allan cautions against an idealistic approach and advises that it is often an arduous and demanding profession, not so financially rewarding as some might expect, and requiring a strong work ethic. For those who are truly committed however, it is arguably among the most highly rewarding of vocations. This book will help students make the right choice.
