I think for veterinarians, they want to have a chance to have a life outside of their work. And equine veterinarians are known for having the expectation of really long hours and emergency duty requirements. It’s an all-encompassing life. It’s a lifestyle.” Grice talked about the differences in experiences and expectations among the various generations that was very enlightening and could help those who are hiring or who are looking for jobs and want the work-life balance that suits them.
