I might take that advise or a vet assitant

And if you need to placate your parents, sell it as experience. Because it seriously is. I remember when I was looking for my first real job and talking to a career councilor, when they asked me what experience I had to put on a resume I told them... you know, none. They told me that most people have experience and don't realize it because they don't know how to spin it. Volunteering for an animal shelter tells a future councilor or employer that you aren't just looking for the paycheck, but that you really care about animals. Like, a while back my mother was freaking out that she couldn't get a job because she hadn't worked since the eighties, I told her to put on her resume about how she had taken care of her father and was taking care of her mother. A few weeks later, bam, she got a gig as a personal assistant for the elderly.
