I want to work with animals but I don't know what career to pursue?

Question

I'm a junior in high school and since I was little all I wanted to do was be a veterinarian but now that I'm older I see that I would never be able to do that. I absolutely hate math and have struggled with it all my life. I have to work extra hard to get science. Plus I refuse to cut open any animal.

I don't go to a good school so I really have no idea who I can talk to about this. My parents never went to college so there out.  I just want to do something I love for the rest of my life but still make good enough money to have a great life. I just don't know what to do. I want to go to college so I don't have to struggle like my parents.

I am also interested in working with animals when I get a bit older so here are some idea I've had:

• Pet groomer (basically cutting dogs' hair

• Like you've mentioned before, veterinarian

• In a pet store, when you mend to the pets like feeding and cleaning cages (wasn't sure what it was called)

Get a Business degree and apply to every vet's office, zoo, humane society, etc. that you can find in your community. Major in marketing because fund-raising is a huge part of the job.

Good luck

You can do a college degree in a discipline you like but in your spare time, you can go to SPCA or some animal shelter to walk the animals and care for them.
