I am 24 and considering a career change. How do I start on the track to becoming a Veterinarian or Zoologist?

We Answered:

The best thing for you to do would be to contact various veterinary schools and find out what their personal requirements are. It is not unlike preparing for medical school and you will find yourself in classes with a lot of those premed students.

Unless you want to deal with microbes, you really don't want to be a zoologist. Most zoology programs have been absorbed into biology. If you really want to work with animals, then find the research that really hits you hard and makes your mouth hang open. When you do, talk to the person who has done that research and find out more about who is doing similar research etc. You may not even need classes if you are willing to do an internship or if they have space open in the lab (but don't hold your breath). But this person can help you through the tought patches of working as a behaviorist.

So I am 33 and considering a career change?

We Answered:

Let's look at it this way.You're 33. in 10 years, you'll be 43, whether or not you go back to school.
What then? In ten years will you say you're glad you went back to school,, or " I should have gone back to school."
People who go around saying " I should have stayed in the Army., "I wish I would have stayed in school, " or' I should have etc etc etc etc." Are all over the place and living unhappy lives over what " could have been."

There's an old saying. The dog would have caught the rabbit if he would not have stopped to take a ****. Are you going to chase that rabbit or stop to take a ****?
Good luck.

Why are you considering a career change at this time?

We Answered:

A career change would be a great opportunities to utilising my skills and capabilities that have remain domant for a while. I believe that I have mastered my present career extremely well to the point that it has become boring and an interesting. A new career will present challenges and opportunites that will make each day look worthy while at the same time helping the organization that will give me an opportunity to improving its mission and vision.

My greatest strenght I would say is my ability to work independently at the same time as a team since I can possible any assignment given. My greatest weakness is my constant will to achieving deadline in any given assignment which makes me stay after work or even work during the weekend to make sure an assigment is completed on time.

I believe my set of skills are far more versatile as opposed to the other candidates. Beside I can bring more success to your organization.

Considering a career change...how much can a female car salesperson expect to make in an Ontario Dodge dealer?

We Answered:

Car salesmen are paid on a percentage of the profit of the sale. This percentage varies from dealership to dealership but usually runs in the 20% to 25% range.

Some dealerships use "sales teams." In this method, one salesperson will give you the test drive, do the write-up, etc. and the "team manager" will close the deal.

In this case, they share the commission so if you buy a new car for, say, $300 over the invoice cost, the salesman may earn only a $50 to $75 commission.

In addition to his commission, though, the salesman can earn bonuses that are available from both the dealership and the manufacturer for good sales performance.

Usually bonuses - or "spiffs" - are offered to any salesman who sells, say, over 8 cars in a month. "Spiffs" may also be offered for meeting certain profit goals (for example, selling a car for $1,000 over the invoice cost), selling certain profit-making extras (such as paint or fabric protection, alarms, extended warranties, etc.), selling a particularly hard-to-sell vehicle, and so on.

According to a recent national survey, the average commission for car salesmen is $250 per vehicle sold. The average selling price per vehicle is about $1,000 over the invoice cost. And the average number of cars sold is 8 to 10 vehicles per salesman per month.


But I would say that being a woman you could do alot better because you will have more patience when it comes to the customer, good luck.
