Hi there! No one but you can answer this question accurately-however we can give advice. I'm totally with you and I understand the struggle to find an answer to this question. There is a big difference between being a vet (must have college degree plus a few more years of vet school) vs. a make up artist (no college degree but steady and growing exposure and experience). Instead of focusing on the money right away, try to think of the things you could NEVER want to be. This also helps eliminate some items from the list. Maybe then you can think of the "maybes" and then "possibles" and then perhaps of the "most likely" things you want to become. Also remember there is difference between a job and a career. One of them will fulfill you more completely by aligning more closely with your interests and with the type of life you desire.

You should go with what you love. Sure. Money is good and all that but you have to think about it in the long-term scheme of things. Myself? I'm in the military. They offered a science-related job. I've always wanted to do that type of work. The money is okay but that form of employment is desirable to me. Kind of equals out. So, do whatever makes you happy. You're young enough. You can always swap out to a different field if things aren't what you wanted. Good luck and I hope that the New Year brings you many happy things. :)

you need to think about whether the important thing is to make a lot of money or to have a "fulfilling" career.
those two things are not often the same thing.
anything that helps people or animals can be a fulfilling career... but robbing banks can make you a lot of money.
from your two choices, i would say either one (vet or makeup artist) could be "fulfilling". Do what you love.
have a nice day.

a career to me is something which helps you grow economically, socially and most importantly as a person. If you are doing a job which you are not comfortable doing, no matter how much you earn you can never go far on the other hand if you have a job/work which you love doing it then sooner or later you make good fortune out of it. please go for something which you love doing.

Veterinarians prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, disorders, and injuries in animals. As the pet population grows, the need for well-trained professionals to provide quality care to animals grows.

The lowest 10 percent earned less than $39,020, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $118,430. According to a survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association, average starting salaries of veterinary medical college graduates in 2004 varied by type of practice as follows:

Make-up artists in film and TV are likely to work long and irregular hours, depending on the project they are working on. They often have to begin work long before filming begins each day. Full-time or contract workers in TV often work shifts which can include evening and weekend hours.
Make-up artists in salons and the medical profession usually work more regular hours, but may need to work evenings and weekends.
Make-up artists in film and TV work indoors in studios, or in temporary rooms when working on location, although they may have to improvise in more makeshift settings if conditions demand. Beautician make-up artists usually work in salons or retail stores. The work involves long periods of concentration. Make-up artists in film, TV and fashion often have to travel in the UK and abroad and spend periods away from home: http://www.learndirect-advice.co.uk/helpwithyourcareer/jobprofiles/profiles/profile931/
