PRE-VET AND VET STUDENT SUPPORT GROUP

Several forum members have expressed an interest in forming
an online support group for those thinking of changing
careers, applying to vet school, or for those already in
vet school. To help with this, I am in the process of setting
up a separate Pre-Vet forum. Stay tuned for details!

I would also like to set up a chat for those interested
as soon as possible. If you have a preferred day or time,
please post your preferences here:

money?" 53classic
