Is there shame in realizing you don't want to do what youve been going to school for anymore...?

Question

I've been in veterinary technician school... but I'm being burnt out by the clients, the pets' situations, some of the coworkers, the schooling etc. I still enjoy the work, and wouldn't want to leave the field completely, but I'm realizing that I want to get more into copy-editing, which...

Answer 1

No, and its fairly common for medical professionals including vet techs to go through these stages throughout their lengthy training. If you're already getting burnt out, then that's a sign you need to switch careers immediately. While the money and time invested sucks to lose, your overall well being is far more important.

Not really that uncommon.

Do what you want and don't concern yourself with "spilt milk".

Yes, for you and you only, if that's how you operate. So what are you going to do, whine about it endlessly? Just get on with your life, change things, pursue what you are interested in, wtf are you worried about feeling like you are quitting? Good grief, so because you hate a feeling you have are you just going to torture yourself over it? My God what dysfunction!!! Good luck Chuck!!
