can a veterinarian out there tell me what course of study i need to follow to become a vet

Most larger universities will have a pre-vet program that will include the prerequisites needed to enter a veterinarian program. Generally what you will need is a lot of biology courses, anatomy and physiology, chemistry up to organic or biochemistry and a lot of internships or other experience like volunteering at a vets.

ok sweet

To become a veterinarian requires a lot of schooling. You're looking at your standard 4 year undergraduate program (usually a biology major) and then another 2-5 years after that in a post graduate program. Entrance into the post grad program can be very competitive and experience and good grades will be very beneficial, especially experience.

I am looking into this as a possible career move myself and have found that volunteering is a great move. As Abrahm said, It gives you great experience you need. Job shadowing and internships will give you a real world sense of what is all involved as well. Which is a must. The great thing about volunteering and job shadowing is you can do them pretty much any time you are available and at younger age.
