Off To School I Go...

As most of you probably already know, I am planning on going back to school in the near future. I have always wanted to work with animals and I want to go back to school and become a Veterinary Technician. This can be a 2, 3 or 4 year program, depending on what you choose. For me at this time in my life I think the 2 year program would be best. Anyways the school that I was going to go to here in the Boston area no longer offers the course. There are only 3 other schools in MA that offer the program. One of them is in Newton which is only about 20 minutes from us, but the problem is they only offer the 3 year associate degree or the 4 year bachelor degree. The other 2 are over an hours drive from us. I guess it's not that bad, there a thousands of people who make that kind of commute every day. The other option that I have is to do an online program. Basically what happens is they send you the course work, and you send it back and really are open to working at your own pace. For labs and hands on things you are paired with a veterinarian in your area and they oversee that aspect of it. This is not totally out of the question I suppose, the one benefit from it would be that I could do the 3 year in 2. Anyways I am not sure yet, I need to really look into all the options and pray about it before I make a final decision. Either way I am excited about it.....
