“Opie I know your D attends one of the west coast LACs my D is interested in. Is she finding that it is meeting her pre-vet needs? I will have my D contact Trinity directly to ask about what may be missing from their web page.”

Yup, she’s working her butt off They have a pre-vet club with an advisor. Work with a local vet on the feral cat population. In fact they get to use the school classrooms to work with this vet as the school is very co-operative about the whole thing. So I think it is working out.

I guess I would ask lots of questions and check the schools clubs and organizations out to see if others share the same interests. Talk to the department professors/advisors to see how they handle (or can’t handle) someone with an educational goal that might be different the normal routes offerred by the school.

Also in our case, having to do a bit of trailblazing (oregon trail?) in my opinion isn’t that bad. At the end of the day, when all this is done, my D will own a business. She will have employees. It is good practice for her to learn how to get where and what she wants through her efforts compared to following a track. Sometimes having to learn to do it yourself is a better learning experience for reasons you won’t know till later.
