Since I started my job last fall working with dairy cattle, I have been seriously considering going to OSU's College of Veternary Medicine. I worked with a vet (my bosses' dad for about 6 months, and really enjoyed the work). I had/have no problem with anything related to animals, ie it dosen't bother me to put to sleep an animal that is suffering, etc. I do realize that it is a major commitment and I'm willing to do the work.But, lately I've been thinking about getting a bachelors degree in animal sciences, going to my grandparent's farm, and then starting up a dairy and crop operation. Those of you who who saw my pictures from a couple weeks ago know that I've got most of the equipment avalable and covered for the crop production, but the dairy not so much. I have also thought about combining the two of these ideas, like completing vet school, practicing for a few years and then start into farming, except on a smaller scale, likly not having as many dairy cattle. This is what I'm leaning toward now, but want to get your opinions as well as my parents now so I have plenty of time to think about it. Also so you know, I'm a sophomore in high school, so I've still got a year to decide. I want to here what you guys have to say, because honestly, there are many people on here that I respect their opinions nearly as much as my parents and other close family.Thanks a bunch, and if anyone has questions, please ask. Again, thanks and sorry about the long post JohnDeereGreen
