Hi Cornel,
Veterinary medicine is a highly regarded profession in the west and
therefore claims a top-spot among students not only for it's
relatively comfortable remuneration but more so for the job
satisfaction it affords. This is becoming a big draw for the younger
generation of graduates who no longer hold the mighty dollar in awe.
Lifestyle and work/family balance are key motivators for aspirants to
veterinary medicine.
Back home attitudes toward the lowly 'dukransovois' are also changing
as people have begun to realise their worth in the livestock and
public health arenas. Pet care is not as highly sought after but is
growing by leaps and bounds as more and more 'deshis' can afford the
luxury of treating a pet as a member of the family rather than a
sentry or pest controller.

Hi Santosh
Many thanks for the subject choice list at American universities/colleges.
It is not dissimilar to the choice in the UK and perhaps even Goa. However,
veterinary science is the hardest to get into (i.e. even harder than
medicine), at present, and physiotheraphy has become very competitive too. I
am sure Kevin Saldanha will note the point about study for veterinary study
at this end, and hopefully, Mario, our covert mechanical engineer, will stop
deridedly referring to him as the "animal doctor" for want of knowing any
better!
