I think I might have chosen the wrong path but it feels so late to change. I'm almost done, just 1 year and a half to graduate, it doesn't make sense to change, specially because my family already spent so much money on this, it feels rude to give up now. But i'm not sure I will be happy.
I think I might finish this graduation, start working and go to college again while I work, idk. I just love cooking so much and it really speaks to my heart. I love animals, but being a veterinarian requires a lot more than just love. I have to deal with horrible and sad things on a daily basis and I haven't even graduated yet. Animals die or suffer all the time and I don't think I can live my whole life seeing serious intoxications, deadly tumors and animals who got into accidents and are so beyond repair we don't even know how they're still breathing.
I just don't think I can live with all that and be happy. I knew I would see horrible stuff, just didn't know it would be so often. I thought my life would be mostly just check-ups, vaccines, upset tummies, spaying and neutering, ear infections, maybe some broken bones here and there. But surprise surprise, people almost always only take their pets to the vet when they're so sick they're almost gone. I'm tired and stressed and I just want to live a life where I can bake every day and see people happy for once.
I made the wrong choice. I can't live with this. I know the world needs people to do this job but I just can't.
