[quote=Anonymous]OP here - other jobs may be more stressful, but we have access to the drugs. We also have to be happy for the new puppy owners, sad for the ones who we are putting to sleep, in debt to our eyeballs because of our education, yelled at by the public because we aren't giving away free vet care because we love animals...check out "Not One More Vet"...

And truth be told, we don't need more vets. We need to figure out why vets are leaving the field in droves right now. You don't fill a leaking mug with more water, you find the source of the leak and stop the loss....if we just have a bunch of green vets out there, patient care will suffer. We need the seasoned vets to help mentor, teach, etc...

They don't teach us psychology in vet school. They used to have a very short course on practice management, when a year long course is what is needed. Corporate ownership has changed the game....the people doing the work are not the ones making the money. And the corporations are constantly trying to figure out how to squeeze more and more $$ out of every practice.

I am lucky I am on the down side....closer to retirement....[/quote]
