[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's not going to become a vet.
She probably won't graduate from college.
It's time to imagine a different future for her -- and as others have said, it's time for her to live somewhere other than your house. 
She is a legal adult. You don't owe her anything but love. She will make some bad decisions. Let her. [/quote]

Classes and grades and research experience aside, vet schools ALSO will want to see significant work experience, both general animal-related and specific vet-related. She’s obviously not even remotely serious about this career if she’s not out at least volunteering at a shelter or something, but if she is actually serious you need to tell her this.  She will need a minimum of 400 hours experience but lots of applicants have closer to 1000. She is going to struggle to get hired with zero work experience at 19 so on the off chance she actually would be motivated by wanting to go to vet school, she should start with some  volunteer work.
