Question
Hello I am a junior in high school right now and am trying to plan my future. I want to be a veterinarian but I also want a minor in Archeology and I am having trouble finding schools that offer both programs. Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Samantha,

Being a vet takes a lot of time and you need to go to vet school for this.  It is like becoming a people doctor.  For this, you would major in Biology in College and then you can minor in Archaeology. Once you graduate, then you would go to vet school.

There are a lot of schools that offer good Bio programs and that also have Archaeology programs.  Check with your state colleges, they may have some good programs in both.
