So how do I become an animal attendant?
After grammar school you have 2 choises, you can either go to high school and after that to career school or you can go straight to career school. If you choose to go to high school first (which I did) it takes longer to become an animal attendant because after 3-4 years of high school you have to go through 2 years of career school. Or you can go straight to career school and graduate there after 3 years.
Is this the career I really want?
I think it is, because I really enjoy being with animals and I love to take care of them, you could say that they are my passion. I love all kinds of animals, big, small, hairy, hairless, smelly, tidy, birds, cats, dogs and especially ferrets. There are bad sides in this job too. Example if you work in an animal hospital/vet clonic you have to be there, available all the time, you have to pay attention and you are not allowed to make mistakes because it’s someones pets life you are responsible, even if the veteranian does the main job. So yeah, it’s hard and there are pressure but I think that it is also really revarding!
