Why do you want to go to veterinary school?

If you are considering veterinary school, the very first question you need to ask yourself is “Why do I want to go to veterinary school?”  In formulating your answer, ask yourself the following questions: What drew you to the profession in the first place?  What draws you to it now?
What career path do you envision for yourself?  How does having a DVM degree help you to achieve that goal?  Is there a particular discipline within veterinary medicine that interests you ?
What makes you want a professional degree in animal medicine rather than an advanced degree in another field such as biology, animal sciences, ecology, biochemistry or another scientific dicipline?  
Have you considered other careers working with animals such as farm manager, veterinary technician, ecologist, educator, behaviorist, for example?
