Thank you, Batbite! Yeah, life can be pretty unpredictable, but this latest ordeal has made me appreciate the ride a lot more. I'm sorry to hear that your second career fell apart just because of one prescription. However, I'm glad you were able to take something positive out of it.

I've definitely researched and experienced firsthand the hardships of veterinary medicine. I usually thrive in high stress situations, so working at a vet clinic felt like a perfect fit. However, I'd be lying if this rabies thing hasn't shaken my faith in my ability to perform in that way again.

I'm going to take the next few months to reflect and figure out if I'm really as passionate about vet medicine as I thought I was. I probably stick with something in the biology/medicine field (since that's my degree), but there are endless different jobs/careers in that area.
