                        In conclusion, Mao states that veterinarians need to study hard, but finding experience from internships and getting
                    recommendations are just as important. Becoming a vet isn’t very easy, it requires a lot of knowledge in the field and communication
                    between your peers. Veterinarians also have to deal with a lot of death. It was said that veterinarians have a higher level of stress
                    because of the need to put animals down. Being a vet could be emotional and often heartbreaking. Between checking cows for
                    pregnancy, diagnosing chickens for diseases/sickness, and vaccinating young piglets, being a vet requires more of one’s passion
                    rather than their grades.

                                                                     Being a music producer  isn’t  an  easy job. Many skills,
                                                                 preparations, and passion is required for this profession. Additionally,
                                                                 it’s important to be prepared for the downsides and the criticism that
                                                                 comes along with the job. Mr. George Lu shared some of the events
                                                                 that led to his successful career and some of the important factors to do
                                                                 well in this field.
                                                                     As a music producer there are many skills and knowledge that
                                                                 you have to possess. Some of these skills are present naturally, but they
                    can be developed. One of the most important skills that Lu expressed to us was to have a love for music, for him it was his attraction
                    to the keyboard. He recommended that aspiring music producers should have some musical talent or skill which can be learned by
                    playing an instrument or singing. To be a music producer one does not have to be extremely talented at playing or making music,
                    but moreover it was important to have a good ear for music and be able to follow musical trends, but also open to new and unique
                    sounds. He emphasized that the passion and ear for music was more important for a music producer than specific musical talent.
                        Just like all jobs, being a music producer requires many tasks that you have to complete. According to Lu, one of the most
                    common one is writing lyrics and melodies for a song or adding suggestions and changes into one. In addition, music producers also
                    often help with arrangements. For example, music producers usually get to pick the studio to use for recording sessions and they also
                    like to help assist many artists when recording the music for a new album, film, and others. Moreover, music producers are brokers,
                    and therefore, have a very important role when it comes to negotiating in a deal.
                        In order to step into the music producer career, having advanced knowledge of music is mandatory. Starting preparation from
                    high school is definitely a good choice, but also most people start participating from university, including Lu himself. Lots of courses
                    could be chosen in university, there are even musical universities where professional skills of music are taught, examples like Music
                    Major in Music Education and etc.
                        Before starting this career note that there are its downsides. Because of the unpredictable schedule, and all the spontaneous
                    meetings it may sometimes be pressuring. This career takes time to work your way up, for your name to be known by all, and
                    working with the right people is also important. This career requires passion and almost constant following of the popular trends and
                    the social norms. Being a music producer isn’t a stable job, and has a low starting salary and a lot of repetitive work.
                        Producing music takes hard work, passion, and dedication. It’s also important to be able to face the drawbacks. Lu’s story
                    helped us understand the importance of music producing and the skills needed to be successful.
