I am struggling right now to find an opportunity to work within or assist in the veterinary medicine field. My ultimate goal is to go to veterinary school but I just feel lost as to where to find a job or opportunity to obtain more experience. Does anyone have any advice?

I started years ago volunteering at local animal shelter. Excellent way to gain basic skills and confidence. (Make friends at your shelter!) I then went to private clinic to interview for kennel assistant opening. During interview, manager took me up front to CSR area, I'd asked casually and said I'd be interested in that, and got hired. Shelter gave good references. Been CSR and RC since.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
