In other news, someone has agreed to take our cats in for us until we get set up in an apartment. The foster arrangement ends mid-November, but we can come get them any time that we want, once the foster person is notified.
Class is going well. We are going to help out at the Scituate Animal Shelter in RI tomorrow for our field trip. This is the pivotal moment, when our class decides whether this is the career for us. I am more jazzed than ever, to be honest. I know that working with animals is an emotionally and physically demanding job, but it's something I can be proud of. And I've already started my rescue work this week- I've been helping to place pets that have been dropped off during class.
There are so many careers in the animal care field and I want to do a little bit of everything. Which is fine, as most animal caretakers end up branching out and continuing their education. What I'm doing now will form the basis for every animal-related position out there. I plan to bone up on business, management, and office skills in addition to volunteering at the local animal rescue league. You'd be amazed at some of the skills I have which I thought were unrelated to the job which can be applied to working at the PARL.
