...Career fields today are hard to choose from. One may want to be a doctor while another will want to be a Veterinary Technician. As a Veterinary Technician one will take a person’s animal into their own hands. The animal could be sick, and the Technician will have to nurse it back to health. Without this profession people would have no way of diagnosing their animals and potentially saving their lives. Even the vaccinations potentially save one’s life. When going into the Veterinary Technician profession, it is important to know about the education, daily work, rewards, drawbacks, and the issues of spaying or neutering an animal. In order to become a Veterinary Technician there is some education required. During the college years of a major...

...Pamela’s Career planning-2 5-5-2015 Final Project Veterinary Technician I want to be a Veterinary Technician because I love to work with animals. A veterinary technician is to a veterinarian as a nurse is to a doctor. Veterinary technicians are usually taking care of the animals and assisting with surgeries, x-rays, examinations, urinalysis, and blood tests. Also veterinary technicians are very important link between veterinary technicians and worried pet parents. They are the ones who call and tell the parents what’s going on. They are also often found monitoring the animals after a surgery or an examination. Some good high school courses would be senior level chemistry, biology, and math. You need anything from a two year Associates Degree, to a four year Bachelors Degree. The higher degree you get the higher in the job you will get and the better pay you will get. If you are a four year graduate you will be referred to as veterinary technologist, but if you only get a two year degree you will be referred to as a veterinary technician. It would be very important to look into the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) program. If you want to be a good veterinary technician you need to be personable, patient, compassionate, and most of all you have to love to be around animals. Veterinary technicians don’t make as much as veterinarians but they do make a good deal of money. Vet techs make some where between $18,000 and $30,000 a year. Vet techs...

...Currently, I am an animal science major with a pre-veterinary emphasis. When I was a kid, I was in charge of a very important task. 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. As for now, I do plan to continue to pursue my current major. Then, after I graduate, I plan to attend a vet school to further pursue my degree. The decision has not yet been made as to which veterinary medicine school I will attend. By gaining a specialized degree in the veterinary field, I will be able to treat sick...

...that a sick and scared animals could bite, kick, or somehow injure the person who is helping to treat them (James 97). To be a vet, it is necessary to attend a four year University, and then continue on to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from accredited college of Vet Medicine. 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.). The first known people that practiced veterinary medicine existed around 900 B.C. in some middle east countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq. Between 4000 and 3000 B.C, Egyptians practiced earlier medical skills to improve and further advancements...

...Are the Lessons Learned in Laboratory Safety Applicable to Real World Scenarios? Hook: Have you ever thought that you may be eaten by an alligator? How about having all of your hair burned off by a Bunsen burner? Have you ever thought that you could contract the plague just from not wearing gloves? Well no one does! However, it happens more often than you would think. Overview: Most science classes begin with an overview of laboratory safety procedures. Many teachers agree that this is an important topic to discuss due to the recent increase of accidents in labs not only at the high school level, but also in universities and in professional settings. The purpose of this document-based question is to have you evaluate the necessity of learning laboratory safety. You are to examine the documents and search for evidence to support your answer to the question, “Are the lessons learned in laboratory safety applicable to real world scenarios?” The Documents: Document A - A Death in the Lab Document B - University of Chicago Microbiologist Infected From Possible Lab Accident Document C - Danger in School Labs: Accidents Haunt Experimental Science Document D - Animal Handling Safety Document E - Graphs of Death by Mechanism and Occupation Understanding the Question 1.

...THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO COMPUTERISATION?∗ Carl Benedikt Frey† and Michael A. Osborne‡ September 17, 2013 . Abstract We examine how susceptible jobs are to computerisation. To assess this, we begin by implementing a novel methodology to estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 detailed occupations, using a Gaussian process classifier. Based on these estimates, we examine expected impacts of future computerisation on US labour market outcomes, with the primary objective of analysing the number of jobs at risk and the relationship between an occupation’s probability of computerisation, wages and educational attainment. According to our estimates, about 47 percent of total US employment is at risk. We further provide evidence that wages and educational attainment exhibit a strong negative relationship with an occupation’s probability of computerisation.

This systematic method will enable an increase in the rate of genetic improvement in the traits being measured. Newly weaned (average 8-10 months) bull calves are placed in a 140-day trial and given equal opportunity to perform through a uniform feeding and management regime. Record of economically important traits, adjusted 210 day weight, average daily gain adjusted 400 day weight and weight per day of age on all animals are systematically maintained.
