I had a double major in undergrad. Zoology/biology with a minor in chemistry. But, ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be an astrophysicist, so I made plans to make a career doing that until I got to high school. I was set to choose physics as my major with a minor in math, but I took plan B instead to become a veterinarian, which is what I am now. Although astronomy is my first love of interests, I decided against it because I just felt that since we didn't have enough technology to follow through with research, why bother. I'm one of those who likes to not only study about something, but I want to touch and see up close what I'm studying about. Animals are the next best thing.

eta: Oh, and I forgot to add that when I was accepted to my first choice of vet schools (Michigan State), I chose to go into small animal medicine. I thought about going into exotics, but I just love cats too much. Starting in January, I'm going to be doing a lot of studying and research in parasitology with my mentor, which is what I'm going to be specializing in. Another four years of headaches, I guess.
