I scrolled months, even into years of old conversations about people not passing the NAVLE. I was able to gain some information but ultimately decided I want to post something more recent and relevant in case things changed at all.
I NEVER thought I would exist in such a present time but here I am several attempts later and still have not passed the NAVLE. I hit my highest score 2 tests ago and now just been getting worse and worse. My desire, passion, and drive are gone. This last testing time frame, I looked into jobs I could do without passing the NAVLE and let me tell you, I could not find much or most denied me at the front door. I live in California so things might differ here than compared to other states, so I am hoping to get some guidance that can pertain to living in California and not wanting to relocate.
I hate how late we get our results that the deadline to sign up again is within a 1-2 weeks span so I have to make choices. Do I sign up again and spend all this money or do I skip a session and aim to take them in December? (This was just internal thoughts I wanted to type up and share.)
Ultimately the goal of this post isn't to get told its okay not to pass and not to be hard on myself. What can I do career wise? What jobs could I apply for with my DVM degree but not passing the NAVLE? Should I take courses to get certified in something that might help me like physical therapy, acupuncture, etc? Surely, any tips on best study sources for the NAVLE would be appreciated but I am beyond that as I have tried many sites, services, and just have spent way too much. I can't spend anymore. Part of me even thinks maybe I need to career shift but with the debt we all end with, I don't think I can find a job outside my degree to pay for such a debt and not be told I am over qualifying because of the DVM degree.
