Should I become a Veterinarian?

I'm 16 & 10grd, & I wann kno if its possible for me to go to the NBA then retire & become a veterinarian?

  • I'm 16 & I live in NC, & I play high school basketball, & it's always been my dream to go to the NBA. after high school I want to attend UF (College of Veterinary Medicine) to become a veterinarian in the future. So I was wondering is it passible for me to go to the NBA then retire & then become a veterinarian doctor?

  • Answer:

    Hey Eric, Completion of school with a DVM (doctor of veterinary medicine) will take you at least 8yrs (4 yrs for a undergraduate degree + 4 yrs for a DVM). Play college ball for 4 yrs and get your undergraduate degree in the sciences. Don't screw around though because Veterinary school is competitive (especially UF). If your good enough to play pro ball then do so, but if its not meant to be then apply for vet school and cross your fingers. Hope this helps, -M (UF vet med graduate student)

Assuming that you complete veterinary school and have the proper credentials, then yes it is possible. It would be very difficult, considering that veterinary school is a very long and difficult process, but there's no reason you couldn't.

if you play in the NBA and retire at the age of 36 years (for example), you'll be too tired to play hard all those years. Then you retire and enjoy the millions $ $ that they paid you to play during that time.

No it's against the law
