>> Hi you guys, I am in my first quoter of the vet tech program up here and

>>
>>
>>
>> When I first looked into the vet tech program I went to the school and
>> talked to the head of the department and ask what things that they did
>> that could give me a bit of trouble. I told her I needed to know so I
>> could see if I can find a way to make it work for me. the only thing she

>> just
>> said, if you can't do the microscope work then you can't be a vet tech.
>>
>> We are still looking into the microscope part, that has not caused me any

>>
>>
>>
>> But the two people who are the pain are the head of the department, she
>> also teaches classes, so I will have her as a student. the other one is a

>> then doesn't say anything to the next one that does it.
>>
>>
>>
>> If I fight it, I will have them as teachers all the time I am their, and
>> do I want to go thought that.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> I just wanted to work with and around animals and these guys are making

>> so hard. I just will have to try a nother way to do it.
