What You Want to BE vs. What you Want to DO

I figured out that the opposite of veterinary medicine is breeding. I always complain that kids too often are motivated toward a career in vet medicine because they love animals, but alas, they end up snipping balls and administering euthanasia. So, vet medicine is a perfect example of a field that represents what a kid thinks she wants to BE, but not necessarily what she wants to DO every day at work.

But for that kind of person, how about breeding great animals? You let them screw each other. I hear they do most of the work, too; for example, a dog-mom will eat all the afterbirth and umbilical cord, so you don't even have to clean it.

So... animal lovers should breed expensive pets. Maybe. It might be a great, efficient way to make money.
