When you choose a career path, financial compensation should not be a primary factor of consideration. If you are miserable in your career, money won't make you happy.

If you do not think that the work of a veterinarian will make you happy, by all means consider something elsa. Try to think of something that you would enjoy doing even if no salary or finacial award accompanied it, and that would likely be a fulfilling career.

Education is vital. A good education not only prepares you for a career, but it should teach you how to think critically.
