well i am one of the few gals that is going to specialize in large animals, but i have to say $6,000 really isnt going to knock a dent in how much i owe and am going to owe for school loans. that takes 8+ years ya know, and you have to relocate for four years...

I agree. I unfortunately didn't get into vet school although I was in serious doubt of whether or not I wanted to go anyway. While doing research, it would cost me going to University of Illinois around 40K a YEAR. $6,000 is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Capricorn

You'll have difficulty finding equilibrium in your emotional life at the moment; try to control the impulsive side of your character. At work, your usual powers of intuition will be clouded. Fits of feverishness may bother you and break down your energy. If you can get out into the countryside for a walk, you'll feel much better.
