Animal Careers??

Zoologist Marine Biology Or training Therapy animals.

She could be an ASPCA officer or work in a humane society shelter or something like that, although that may be too emotional too. :/ I'm sure there's lots of careers that have to do with animals out there other than vets. I'd check at my local library for books on this, or maybe even ask a local vet about other animal careers.

How about a "Naturalist" for the Park system? They get to handle the animals, talk to visitors about their habitats and preservation, and go on nature walks, go to schools (alot of elementary) to lecture and visit, etc. I think it's a wonderful career and can take her to into different fields also, even marine life if she'd like.

I am looking for similar work myself and I can relate to the emotional side of becoming a vet. I recently had to have my beautiful 13 year old cat put to sleep because he was very sick and the vet there told my husband that sometimes she has to do up to ten euthanasias in one day! That would emotionally kill me and I know I couldn’t watch a pet die with detachment. I am considering opening a cattery where cat owners can bring their beloved feline when they go on holidays etc, you know like a cat hotel. We have a few in my city and they seem to be doing quite well. I can’t afford to open one from scratch so I may have to wait until one comes up for sale and that could unfortunately be a while. If I win the lottery I will build a cattery and an animal shelter...No harm in dreaming... I hope your daughter finds something, if I come up with anything else I will let you know.

In a lot of careers it's helpful to have some emotional feelings towards your work it can keep you motivated. I think if your daughter wants to be a vet. Support her with it. If she does become a vet she will eventually know how to handle and channel those emotions so it doesn't hurt her work.
