Well, if you enjoy this kind of work, then you are better off. Because if it something you are not dedicated to, you will be disheartened.
This work is labor intensive, it is one client after another. And it is counter intuitive because animals do not speak a English...
Your other alternative is to get in at your university's research division. If they work with animals, they MUST have vets. You need to find them. And the pay is not that bad.
If you work with the laboratory animals, you will gain an appreciation of the veterinary field overall. Now, if you cannot handle how they are cared for, then you probably need to be in private practice. However, you get the diversity of animal care because the vets at college must follow all laws because there is so much oversight. Lemme put it to you this way, you don't want PETA to show up at your door...
