as a rising senior who wants to go into an animal-related career, im faced w an interesting dilemma- i can either do what i really want to do and become an ethologist, but not earn enough money to take care of myself in the current economy, or try an become a vet to earn a good salary, but sacrifice my mental well-being for something that im not even guaranteed to be good at. capitalism can go choke on my dick
