Veterinarian

​   __Veterinarians __ A veterinarian’s job is to help sick and injured animals regain their strength. Most vets work in a clinic or animal hospital but some are more interested in doing research so they work in a laboratory. The biggest reward for a veterinarian is to have a successful operation. Although the job has long hours away from family the pay is high ranging from 52,000 to 120,000 dollars. Their average day usually is just checkups and handing out medicine but sometimes animals are seriously injured and require an operation. Every year there are a lot of job openings so it is easy to come across an opportunity as a veterinarian but you must be good at science and if you want respect from other workers it’s a good idea to get a doctors degree.
