Animal Sciences, General:
I would definitely recommend studying Animal Science and, if I had to start all over again, I would study it again. The pros of this major were that I was able to work with large animals at my school, especially dairy cattle and beef that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do elsewhere, I learned about genetics which has become very useful in my field now, it was not math intensive, though some was required, and the core requirements were as heavy in biology as in animal sciences so it gave me a lot of background that I may not have gotten in a different unrelated major. The cons of this major are one, that there is the reputation that non-veterinary students are not able to find jobs, funding gets cut at almost every college that I know of for these types of programs for the above reason, and that if you have no focus in it you just MIGHT wind up with no job. This is easy to avoid though. If you have stellar grades then vet school is the next logical step. If you know your grades won't be straight A's, then there is the research field but you have to be sure that you study microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology if you have the option. Those, in conjunction with animal science, will easily get one a job. Plus there's always grad school. |
