If your 18 go become a large animal vet if you like cows, you will be very appreciated by many

This is just my opinion but I can't think of a worse plan. Start out $100k in debt for schooling to make $20/hr out in the wind, rain, snow, and dark for something that's not really what the OP wants to do.... Yes you'll be appreciated but not very well paid for your investment. Kind of like farming can be lol

Edit: Unless becoming a large animal vet is your end goal


I can see your a big advocate for vets, hope you don't bother calling one to come fix a problem you can't handle. There's gonna be a day real soon when a large animal vet doesn't exist. Vets here in cattle country nebraska are very successful but in Michigan I suppose it's not that way ...

I was not at all trash talking vets. The vet I use is very good and I do appreciate them. In michigan the day is already here that good cattle vets are almost non existent and for good reason. In Nebraska you may be exactly right about what you said but Nebraska also has 6x as many cattle. Here in michigan vets make all their money on horses, cats, and dogs and I would assume the horses aren't in big numbers either because here their just expensive pets and not used for working like out west. I'd bet if you're main gig is cattle you'd make 40-50k a year at best after investing in becoming a doctor and you'd be working in poor conditions often. You can almost make that kind of money flipping burgers with no investment. Vets don't get the medical insurance companies to fleece financially. Again, I'm not bashing vets and I'm not bashing you or your opinion but it's different here.
