Open Blog Post

         This week I chose to write about veterinarians in the industrious field. While reading, I found out that veterinarians are responsible for a lot more than just setting your pet's broken leg. Did you know that it is usually a veterinarian that discovers foodborne illnesses. That's what they're trained to do! They also help in the industrial medicine field with pharmaceutical reasearch to develop drugs such as new antibiotics and vaccines for human and animals use.
        Veterinarians are also responsible for the supervision of the production of pet food. Also, vets who choose the research and industrial side of the career make, on average, 40,000 more a year than a vet who works at a clinic.

  1. That was a really interesting post! It's pretty cool to hear about all the other things veterinarians are involved in. Truthfully, I had no idea that being a vet could provide such a diverse field. I guess when the average person envisions a vet they just think of the typical clinical doctor type of job. It's always interesting to hear about all the other sides of the field that are more than what meets the eye!
