My dog, Mutt, had just given birth to her first litter of puppies, and she was not very good at being a first time mother. Therefore, I ended up becoming the caretaker of five sweet and vulnerable puppies. From that point, I knew that I would like to care for animal for the rest of my life. Since then, I have cared and endured for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, and exotic birds. Every opportunity has been an enjoyable experience.

Although it isn’t required for acceptance, earning a Bachelor’s degree will increase the odds of getting into a vet school (McKay, Dawn Rosenburg). You have to finish a two to five year residency program and then pass an additional exam. All states require every vet to be professionally licensed to practice private clinical medicine. To acquire such a license, a person has to pass at least one national exam along with a state exam taken in the state which the person plans to practice vet medicine (Likoff, Laurie, et al.). Every state requires all individuals to pass the North American Vet Licensing Exam (McKay, Dawn Rosenburg). The U.S. department of labor reported in May 2013 that the median annual earnings of vets were $86,640, and salaries of vets ranged from $53,270 to $89,850. Being a vet, a person gets to enjoy the benefits of paid vacations, health disability, life insurance, and retirement plans. (Likoff, Laurie, et al.).

...GenieTech, one of the company’s two current cartridge suppliers. No The decision between in-house development and external acquisition was critically important. Bergerac was growing fast—averaging 17% annually since 2007—but it remained a small player with limited resources in a very competitive market, and Wyckoff was determined to avoid a costly mistake. He had to make a decision quickly, as the supply of OmniVue cartridges had been inconsistent in recent months. Indeed, the veterinary practice that Wyckoff had just visited had recently been frustrated by a temporary stock-out at their distributor. To maintain Bergerac’s growth trajectory, it was imperative for potential customers to have full confidence in the company’s ability to deliver on its promises. Furthermore, the contract with the other cartridge supplier, Elsinore Plastics, would come up for renegotiation in August 2010—a mere three weeks away.
