The ONLY Website Committed to the Success of Future Veterinarians & Their Families
As a parent, there is no greater gratification than helping your children pursue their dreams—especially when it’s fun, easy, and cost-effective. Unlike other professions, such as accounting and law, most practicing veterinarians realized their “calling” at a very young age. In a survey of practicing veterinarians, 65% said they made their career decision before the age of 12! If your child is demonstrating an avid interest in animals, chances are very good that he or she could already be on the path to a successful career in veterinary medicine.
A longtime veterinarian with a passion for sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with children, Dr. Chris Carpenter founded Ichabod Ink as the first and only online resource community for aspiring veterinarians and their parents. Ichabod Ink is more than just an informational website—it’s a robust community of parents, kids, veterinarians, and animal experts, all dedicated to helping your child to explore his or her passion while building a strong foundation in science and an understanding of animals. Ask questions, get answers, share your own experiences, and find out what it takes to succeed in the field.
It’s never too early to start cultivating your child’s passions!
