I think that I would really enjoy a career as a vet tech or vet but, I'm not sure if I'm ok with blood n stuff

With humans I can't always watch when their having something medical done but its different for animals. I've been ok with treating simple puncture wounds and such on my pets but I would just like to get opinions on if I'll be able to adjust to more advanced medical things. Watching needles and IVs make me a little quesy. Is it true that you get used to it? Sry, if this didn't really make sense.

    I would suggest that you volunteer at a local vets office. If you can get a job there do so (even if it's cleaning cages.) Let them know that you are considering making that your career. The only way you can find out if you can handle that career is through experiencing what it's like.

    I'd like to mention, Xandria C gave some good career suggestions. However, many Animal Control Officers do have to administer shots, draw blood, euthanize, and decapitate (for rabies test.) I'm not even an officer and I have to do half of those things. You will probably also have to do some of those things in other animal careers, such as zoo keeping. The more rewarding the job, the more emotionally draining it is.
