Since I am choosing the major life sciences or biological sciences, my two related careers are either veterinarian or a zoologist. Veterinarians treat or take care of sick and injured animals. They do perform surgery and give medicine to animals. Although most veterinarians treat small animals (dogs, cats, fish) there are others who treat large animals (sheep’s, cows, horses) and those who treat large animals has to drive to the destination for the animal's check-up. They check to see the animals status by taking blood tests or x-rays. They need to look carefully in the way how animals look, act, and smell for it tells them if the animal is sick, injured, or malfunction. Upon seeing the video, there is one veterinarian he did not
actually even considered to be one until he was in undergraduate school. As a young kid he was really fascinated with animals and surgery, but wasn't too interested in interacting/dealing with people, along with human medicine. Yet, as he got older, he takes all those things and started to realize that he can do surgery on animals and treat them for a living. He knew what he wants to do and where he wants to go which is veterinary medicine and veterinary school. Being an veterinarian requires a lot of dedication, time, and studying. In fact, to get into veterinary schools, it does require students to have good grades. The best part in this career is the rewards you get by making a difference for animals and families due to the fact that you’re changing a situation and solving it, making both the animal and the family happy.The worst part in this career, however, is the stress and sad situations. Dealing with the emotions that it is time for the animal to pass on is really hard and heartbreaking at the same time.
Zoologists study the behavior of animals in their natural surroundings or habitat. They mainly work in laboratories while conducting experiments on a certain animal. Based on the data and information they had gathered after observing the animal, they determine its health and well being. Other zoologists are working in zoos where they maintain and direct activities that an animal must properly go through. Watching the video, I learned animals have adapt on how to be successful in the environment they live in. Being an zoologist helps us understand the way animals survive in the wild and how important they are to the functioning of the ecosystem. This career can also discover about the animal kingdom.
