Veterinarian (Dr. Donna Jacobsen)
Manage episode 402698150 series 3550257
In this episode we speak with Donna Jacobsen, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who works primarily with dogs, cats, and other small animals. I was excited for this episode because when whenever you ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, many will say that they want to be a Veterinarian. Donna became the profession that all of those little kids dream of becoming!
However, Donna herself did not always dream of becoming a veterinarian. She was actually a pre-med student at Yale, a common path at the prestigious university, before deciding to go against the grain and switch to a career that she felt more aligned with her passion and purpose. Despite naysayers, Donna followed her own path and today gets to live out her passion for working with animals. But as you will hear from Donna, veterinary medicine is not just about animals. In fact, she even calls it a people business. Donna does an excellent job of highlighting the magic of being a vet, but also discussing some of the misconceptions people have about the business.
This was a fascinating and illuminating interview. I think you will enjoy and learn a lot. Give it a listen.
