What are the chances that someone who has spent their academic career in the humanities and social sciences could go back to school to study hard science and be successful?

Okay, that someone is me.

I have decided that I want to work with animals. I think I might actually enjoy going to work if there were nanimals when I got there.

I have been researching different ideas and potential fields of study and becoming a vet is high on the list. However, I would need to get another degree, because the prerequisites for vet school include upper division courses.

Now, I am a good student, but I have not been in a basic bio class since 1997. It’s not like I wasn’t good at science it just wasn’t my focus.

So here I am many years and lots of drugs later and I am unsure of my ability to learn completely new information. Is it possible or am I fooling myself?

And can my old ass really do another 6 years of school?
