How I did it: I always wanted to work with animals, but somehow I got sidetracked and did some other stuff instead. When I finally realized that this was what I wanted to do, I had to take extra classes to get into that college. When I finally made it, it was really fun, but also very hard work.

Lessons & tips: I've always just followed my heart, and that's what you need to do. You won't get rich, but you'll have a meaningful profession, and that's what gets you through your day.
