How can my vegetarianism and love for animals translate into a career?!

I definitely would not say become a vet unless you like putting animals down...

Generally I wouldn't say that vegetarianism or love for animals (although admirable traits) are parts of your personality that could be translated into a career. After all one is simply your dietary requirements and the other is simply that you like animals. Neither require any particular skill. It would be like me saying how can not eating oranges and liking to watch 'Dexter' on HBO be translated into a career.

The only thing I can think of is in the food industry... If you can make vegetarian food taste good then you may be able to open up a restaurant, food delivery and perhaps sprouting from that a prepared food company offering healthy vegetarian meals for people to reheat at home. However there is a lot of competition in that sector because there are plenty of Indian and SE Asian people who already do that, and due to the nature of the food from the countries they are from... it tastes good.

I'd have to say figure out what else you are good at. It seems like you are looking at yourself in a very two dimensional way, and you need to find that third dimension.

actually, i wouldn't say veterinarian. you do know what you have to go thru to become one don't you? if you have a voice, go road-tripping with peta or something. with peta, you could also put up a stand with some other folks like downtown or somewhere where lots of people pass, and try to collect signatures or/and donations. most of it's volunteer work, but if you go on the road and attack breeders and all that evil stuff, their donations help to get there and sleep there and eat there while you are there.
SPCA probably has some career opings for non-vets. like apart from volunteering to taking the dogs for a walk, maybe a groomer, all that. open up your own shop too, grooming, vegan store with animal stuff like books, bowls, vegan treats, etc.

Your completly right about the malnorished myth. I'm 13 and healthy.

You could work at a farm sanctuary. Just look up farm sanctuarys on wikipedia and find one near you or join an orginization and be someone who rescues animals from factory farms or use another skill you have like combine photographey,art, modeling or something or something with this or be a vet for farm animals

I'm gonna be a photographer who takes pictures of them in happy farms abd factory farms and an under cover investigator if not wild life and nature


Good luck
