if your primary goal is to help animals there are ways to help that can be more beneficial and actually incorporate your engineering mind. like working for peta, or other nonprofits that help animals. if you can think of a method to stop meat industry, now that would be something.
if you want to do research like new drugs, or methods, transition from EE is easier and you pick things along the way. you just need to choose some interdisciplinary topic.
do you need to do dissections in vet school? can you survive that as an animal lover.
My ultimate goal would be to improve the lives of animals, yes, which is one reason why the research aspect interests me.
You bring up an interesting point. I would love to find a middle ground and a job that I can do in the animal field that fits my current education (or a few more classes). I searched for something like that when I first graduated but came up empty handed. If you or anyone else has some ideas, I am all ears. I'd love to find out about other opportunities out there.
The dissections in grade school never bothered me.
