I was working with a group of adolecents last night at my internship. One of the examples I used with them had to do with how kids dream about the career they want when they are adults. So it got me thinking, what did everyone here want to be when they grew up, are you in that career & if not why?
I wanted to be a vet. I am not a vet. I'm an engineering tech, & at the beginning of my career of counseling. I decided not to be a vet when I realized that it requires the ability to emotionally separate from the animals. I could never look at a young healthy animal & put it down because the owner just didn't want it anymore. Heck I'm not sure I could put down an old sick animal. Not to mention the responsibility of putting an animal under for surgery. Yeah, I'm just not cut out to be a vet.
