    Going to get my education

    so I can become a reptile veterinarian. Next semester I start my biology classes. I'm taking Intro to Biology, Zoology, and a math course. That's all I can take due to work. In the summer, I'll take my next biology course, if its offered as a summer course, and apply to transfer to another college. (I currently go to a community college.) If I don't get accepted, I'm going to continue with getting my general education classes and get those out of the way, so that when i do finally transfer, I can jump right into my major.

    Does anyone know if there are any good veterinary schools out there that offer classes for people like me who want to specialize in reptiles, birds, and small mammals?

    Does anyone have any advice for me, especially on how to manage time, since I am terrible at that. That is why I did so horribly this semester. Trying to work 30+ hours a week, plus going to school full time is hard.

    Working full time and going to school full time is going to be a hardship and something the 99.99% of people out there won't be able to pull off, especially if you are getting a bio major in preparation for vet school. The bio major in and of itself is one of the most demanding majors out there.

    I just graduated from VCU, and going to school full-time, while working 20 hrs a week, I barely graduated in 4 & 1/2 years.

    Going to school is an investment into yourself and its worth it to focus on it exclusively. You'll have to make sacrifices, but it will pay off in the end.
