What child hasn’t dreamed of being a veterinarian one day?

With the album I dream of being a veterinarianthe reader discovers all the secrets of this profession.

It’s a very difficult job to get into. You have to prepare well from high school by choosing the right scientific options. In terms of studies, it is very difficult and the selection is severe! There is only one competition for 4 schools! And to pass this exam, you have to do 2 years of preparation, which is very difficult.
And in the end, less than 2 out of 10 students are taken!

And once you have won the competition, nothing will be easy! The veterinarian must have great mental health and great health because it is a very physical job. He must also have a good sense of contact and be hyper-reactive. Because in an emergency, you have to react very quickly!

The author also describes other professions related to animals, easier to access, such as farrier, breeders, groomers, educators, etc.

The veterinarian can practice his profession in the city or in the countryside. Caring for pets, rare animals, wild animals…

I dream of being a veterinarian is an album, with beautiful illustrations, where the author shares his passion with us. And his daily life as a veterinarian. A very cool album coming out today!
