Primarily a means to production or a means to experience?

There was never a sound beside the wood but one,

And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.

What was it it whispered? I knew not well myself;

Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,

Something, perhaps, about the lack of sound—

And that was why it whispered and did not speak.

It was no dream of the gift of idle hours,

Or easy gold at the hand of fay or elf:

Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak

To the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,

Not without feeble-pointed spikes of flowers

(Pale orchises), and scared a bright green snake.

The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.

My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make.

Mowing by Robert Frost

New veterinarians in equine practice have a

starting salary, on average, of $18,163 less than the mean starting

salary for all new veterinarians.

From Dicks MR, Bain B, and Knippenberg R. 2015 AVMA Report on Veterinary Debt and

Income.

Either veterinarians are slow to receive or to recognize the great disparity in wages

between markets, or the disparity in wages is not

sufficient to induce movement from one market to another.

From Dicks MR, Bain B, and Knippenberg R. 2015 AVMA Report on the Market for

Veterinarians.

Quotes from Dr. Megan Sprinkle (2014 Grad in email on 25‐Aug‐2015)

Zoo medicine is one of the most competitive fields of veterinary medicine.

It’s very much about making contacts. Auburn has limited exotic/zoo medicine experiences easily available, so interested students need to be willing to actively look for experiences in exotic/zoo medicine. 

It's about active perseverance.
