Littman stethoscopes
Trying to choose a career path can be a hard choice. I have, for many years wanted to be a lawyer, but I am not sure I want to have to deal with defending people who are guilty, I just can't see myself being able to do that. I love to help people and recently my father has been pushing me toward a medical career. I am really not sure what area of study is for me and my procrastination is absolutely driving my parents mad. In any case, I decided to spend this past summer doing some volunteering at local businesses to see what jobs really interest me.
I spent some time in a vets office and I really thought that was cool, I actually think I enjoyed that better than the regular doctor's office that I spent some time in. I really didn't like all the insurance paperwork in the doctor's office, and in a vet's office, you don't have all that and I liked it. I have always loved animals, and the truth is they are the same as a doctor. They get to wear a stethoscope and I really think that the Littmann stethoscopes that I saw in the vet's office may have been even nicer than the Cardiology stethoscopes that I saw in the MD's office.
I also went to a lawyer's office and did some paperwork and got to see a lot of behind the scene's stuff which was really neat. I did ask them questions about having to defend someone that they knew was guilty and they said unfortunately that is what you sign up for when you agree to become a lawyer, and I asked them about their experiences with that and they said it can be very difficult, but you find a way to push through it. I told them I didn't know if I could do that, and they said then perhaps I should consider a different career.
Now, I really think that I have my heart set on going to veterinary school, and learning more about caring for animals. I think it would be great, then I could move to a farming community and go to farms around town and do house calls, deliver calves, and take care of injured horses. Also, I love horse back riding and that would mean I could have a farm full of animals of my own. I think I have finally found the right career path for me.
