To go to vet school, or not

Hi all. I’ve been a veterinary assistant at a GP clinic for about 3 years after I graduated with a BA in biological sciences. I love what I do, but I’m exhausted and underpaid and can’t imagine being a tech forever. In a perfect world, I would go to vet school and pursue a specialty but I’m very concerned about the debt:income ratio, the burnout during school, and how difficult it is to even get into vet schools. I also think I’m missing some prerequisites, I’m terrible at standardized testing, I have no relationships with my college professors (for letters of recc), and I wouldn’t want to go far from my aging family (I also have a dog and it would be difficult to travel with her). How did y’all decide whether to go or not? Especially after working as a tech for a few years after undergrad.

Which is better?

I currently have option 1 because with option 2, my desk and dresser are too big to go next to each other without blocking the door. I have this aversion to having my head face south, but don’t want to get a different dresser or desk so I’ve been putting up with it. The window is pretty short, and is much farther to the right (south) than in the picture. Also open to other suggestions! I think it’s bad feng shui to have my bed on the north side wall as that’s where the door faces.

10yo FS French Bulldog came in for trouble urinating and defecating, history of IVDD. Once arriving to hospital, her vaginal prolapsed and the tissue looked very abnormal. We got an impression cytology of the pus which is the image below. One of the vets theorized it was a TVT (transmissible venereal tumor) but we are located in a large US city, not a place known for seeing these. Patient was humanely euthanized hours later. What do you think?
