Oh no, don't worry. I'm really hard to offend but I tend to just speak a bit boldly so it comes off as me being upset, but I'm fine. We cool.
That is good advice. The thing is that I don't really have much of a resume to begin with :0 I really just talk about all the things I do as a volunteer and how I believe that could be of use to wherever I am applying.
It's just a crazy time so even with a really good resume it can be difficult to get in places. I'll be patient. I just thought it was kind of ironic how people seem to want you to have job experience even if you're applying for your first job.
It helps to talk confidently too for a job interview. No second guessing words. But really your best bet is to work at a supermarket or something like Walmart first before trying for a better job.

Ain't no way I'm gonna make it through vet school lol
It's super expensive, there's only like 33 schools in the US for it so you have to start applying early if you're gonna get in, and the payout for being a vet is one of the worst in terms of compared to the debt from school.
I am a huge anatomy buff and performing surgery on an animal would be super cool (I did dissect an owl on two occasions), but I just don't see myself being able to do it full time, at lost not in the foresseable future. If I had no anxiety or goals I want to accomplish outside of a career, I would even totally do autopsies on people if I could -- but it ain't a perfect world and I got to play with the cards I was dealt while aiming to get better.
But I would love being able to do something with animals. I'd never work a day in my life... Wildlife rehabilitation will probably be what I ultimately get in to.
I want to be able to work with a lot of different types of animals throughout my life. Right now I'm doing birds of prey. I'd also love to do wolves someday, and if I ever have to travel south it'd be rad working with gators for a while.
We'll see where it goes.
I think even something like the wildlife stuff requires a degree of some kind. I'm pretty sure you don't need a degree to help out vets though. There should be both paid and unpaid jobs for that.
