Just how satisfied are you with your job?
I'm grateful to find out from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) that veterinarians have a very high level of job satisfaction. We rank just behind clergy, teachers, and psychologists, and above physicians and lawyers too. We vets ranked well above average compared to all jobs. Now if we could only teach everyone to pronounce "veterinarian" correctly. In my book, I list "What is Justine’s biggest veterinary pet peeve?" as one of the questions. Well, on the first day of orientation at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, the dean of the veterinary college told us this sage advice: if you learn one thing from veterinary school, learn how to pronounce “veterinarian.” It’s not “vet-re-narian”. It’s “vet-er-in-ar-ian.” In the same way, it’s not “vet-ran” rather, it is “vet-er-an.” Could be an Ivy League ivory tower (i.e., snotty) thing to say at our first day of orientation, but it’s since become a big sticking point, just as my mad, old professor predicted. Word to the wise.
