How To Get Started
To get started take all the mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics courses which are available to you in middle and high school; they will open up many career opportunities in college including veterinary medicine. You must get a bachelors degree to get into veterinarian school where you can train to become a veterinarian. While you are a kid you need to work on getting good grades and I mean like really good grades to get into veterinary school. There are approximately 30 Veterinarian schools, and some people say its actually harder to get into veterinary school than medical school and that makes it a very competitive field. Grades aren't the only factor when applying. It's all about experience, and you need as much hands-on experience as you can possibly get.
