Since his
early childhood, it has been Amin’s
dream to become
a veterinarian. He’se always admired people who help animals in need. He thinks it is one of the
noblest jobs in the world.
A veterinarian must have compassion for both animals and people, enjoy working with people
and
possess strong communication skills because every animal comes with a human. But compassion and love
for
animals are not enough to make veterinary medicine a good career choice.
He also must be
a good student and have strong science and math
skills. Veterinarians must be willing to
advise clients on
decisions that will have
significant financial and emotional impact.
He
has always had pets, and maybe that’s why he became so
attached to animals. As a vet, he has
to be prepared for any situation, because he
can’t
know what case can arise
next. Veterinarians must handle
failure, loss, grieving and
angry clients, and sometimes
animals that have
been
neglected. He has to
be psychically prepared for these kinds of situations.
Although it’s a difficult job, it’s a beautiful one. It’s not a job that veterinarians do
only for
money, they
do it because they
enjoy saving animals. If they don’t have compassion
for them,
there’s no
use in becoming veterinarians.
