Alright, so I've come to a realization over the past few weeks, and I just don't know how to tell my family, cuz I'm scared of what they will think. As most of you know, I have wanted to be a vet since I was 12, but in recent weeks, I have come to dislike the profession more and more, and now I know I don't want to do it. Actually, I want to get my Bachelor of Science in Biology from St. Lawrence, as planned, then move down to Orlando and get my Master of Science Education (7-12) from UCF and become a high school bio teacher--I just have realized while I love animals, I love people even more, and I am especially intrigued and excited at the high school age mind--old enough to be able to have a serious conversation about the world with, yet young enough that you can still see how they turn into adults--very kewl age group to be around...plus, I have wanted to move to Orlando since I was about 7, and this seems like the best way to do so, since going to UCF is also a much cheaper route to going to Grad School than my vet route would have been. And, I could maybe even work at Disney as a seasonal, part-time CM in the summer as a hobby (I know they don't pay nearly enough to live on--I'd just do it for fun)
My dilemma is that my family has been behind me being a vet since I was 12, and I don't know what they will think when I finally get the gumption to tell them I've changed my mind. Any recommendations on how to go about this? Thank you.
