Psychological Traits of Happy Vets

GILESB asks: "Any ideas of what are "good" psychological/personality traits for enjoying a career as a veterinarian? I've seen anecdotal evidence and studies that indicate a significant level of dissatisfaction and discontent within the veterinary profession. And yet, there are vets who really love their work. So obviously it's a career suited to some but not all individuals. I'm interested in identifying common personality traits in vets who love their work, mainly to help me decide whether a veterinary career would suit me..." Interesting question!
