But at its core veterinary medicine is a science, and caring for the health of animals is only one part of what veterinarians do. Yes, veterinarians treat family pets and farm animals. However, they also research treatments for illness in both animals and humans, oversee food production to ensure its safety, and play a leading role in government public-health efforts. Companion Animal veterinarians care for family pets such as dogs and cats. Large Animal veterinarians treat cattle, sheep and swine (pigs).
They work with farmers and ranchers to ensure proper care of livestock.

 Some colleges offer four-year degrees in travel and tourism, while others have courses that relate to the industry. However, a college degree is not required to become a travel agent, although some employers prefer agents to have a background in computer science, geography, communications, or foreign languages. Courses in accounting and business management are also a wise investment, as most agents consider starting their own agencies. Six- to eight-week programs offered by community colleges and continuing education programs are comprehensive and are usually sufficient training for beginning travel agents. Some agents start as reservation clerks or receptionists in agencies, advance to office manager or other managerial positions, and eventually move on to become full-fledged agents.
Travel agents who wish to advance after a few years in the field can take advanced courses from the Institute of Certified Travel Agents, which lead to a certification as a Certified Travel Counselor. The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) offers a correspondence course as well. These certifications can be helpful for those wishing to start their own businesses. To start their own businesses, travel agents have to gain formal supplier or corporation approval (airlines, ship lines, and rail lines) before they are authorized to receive commissions. Although many travel agents receive "a rude awakening" when they find their hopes of "glamour and jet-setting" to have exceeded the reality of the job, others do not seem to mind the "evenings behind the desk," because they feel a "genuine obligation" to their clients.
As one respondent explains, "It is an ego boost to know that someone halfway around the world needs you." There are also perks in the job, like "discounted or free travel," although an agent\'s demanding schedule leaves "hardly any time to use all the free tickets."
