This came up today at lunch in a conversation with my friends Stacey and Sue:
I have worked with hundreds of students whose dream was to complete professional school and become veterinarians or doctors.
When I have asked pre-vet students why they want to become veterinarians, the first response is almost always, "Because I love animals."
When I have asked pre-med students why they want to become doctors, NO one has EVER responded, "Because I love people."
What is that about?

Pre-med students will often say that they want to make a difference or they want to saves lives.These are both admirable goals, but they seem very different in tone from "I love animals".
Anyway, it's just a point to ponder.
ROFL!
And yeah I agree. Ever notice how vets make so much less money than doctors too!!
