I've always been in the animal care industry from grooming, kennel technician, shelter med, now vet med. I'm at my breaking point my mental and physical health can no longer do it no matter how much I love it. Any suggestions or recommendations on what I can do after only doing animal care for 15 years? Thank you

I too have had to make the difficult decision to leave, it was recommended to me to look into transcriptions for both veterinary and human med, there are online classes that can be completed in a few months and then a certification test that would allow you to start taking on transcription freelance or company jobs.
