Well what did you expect to happen when working with animals?

Wait till you have to jerk off a dog

I eat puppies for breakfast

I'm so glad I changed my mind about working at a vet clinic while I'm still in college. At least you know now rather than after it's too late, I hope?

That sort of thing happens there. Try doggie hotel instead lol

Where you that dumb to think your job would be hugging and snuggling cute animals all day? People take their SICK and DYING animals to vets idiot

That's why, in career assessment - like for people in need of a job - they make a difference between what you want to do, and what you want to do knowing the negative aspects as well. Make an informed decision.

You really do . I've been a registered vet tech for almost a year and you haven't seen the worst of the profession .

I know exactly how you feel, I went to school for veterinarian technology and quit after my internship. I never really thought about administering injections, and seeing animals die. I just love animals and so I wanted to pick a career where I could always be around them. Unfortunately for us, we got to see what really happens behind clinic doors. I really do give credit to Vet. technologists for doing what they do, but I couldn't Bare to see a animal be put down :( sorry op! Good luck, with whatever your going to do next :)

Please do. People who really care about sick animals usually consider something like this as a necessary part of the job, not a FML.

next, try to become a gynecologist. I hear there's a lot of pussy involved.

OP, to desensitize yourself, get a job at the worst clinic you can find. You could also try a different specialty like agricultural (farm) veterinary or a related field like selling vet equipment. Look up "Veterinary specialties" in Wikipedia for some ideas.
