Choosing what to do with your life begins with imagining yourself
in a career. Using stories of real practitioners in the field, the
Masters at Work series offers the opportunity to see through the
eyes of someone who has mastered a profession and learn what the
risks and rewards of a job really are. According to a LinkedIn
survey that polled 8,000 professionals, the second most popular
childhood dream job for respondents was a veterinarian. It's a
career that appeals to many, due to its involvement with animals
and association with helping and doing good. Still, much of the
day-to-day elements of the job are not known by the wider public.
This series, and individual guide, provides valuable and relevant
information about what daily life for a professional veterinarian
is like, and will be a vital resource for anyone interested in
pursuing the path. Is there such a thing as a typical veterinarian?
Journalist and author Boris Kachka sets out on a journey,
determined to discover how to turn a childhood dream into a real
career. Becoming a Veterinarian is a behind-the-scenes, honest, and
inspiring look at the day-to-day life of a veterinarian through the
eyes of four people who have made this career their life's work.
There's Michael, who thought he would be an architect, but instead
works with urban pets at the ASPCA in New York; Elisha, who studied
dance before she began treating cows, cats, and horses; Idina, who
was injured in a car accident and was forced to find a second
career; and Chick, who was earning a Masters in economics but
turned to veterinarian science after he began working nights at an
animal hospital. With each, Kachka dives into every element of the
job: science, surgery, financials, finding a program, and
everything in between.
