I had an interest in a certain line of work around 10 years ago. I literally drove to those companies unannounced and asked the the owners if I could chat about the career for a bit. To my surprise they were very accommodating and answered all my questions. It helped immensely.
Maybe try that?
Good luck :)
When I volunteered at Lort Smith, many people were there to build up their resume for animal/vet roles. In case you’re looking for more ways to get good things on your resume.
They’ll probably start you in the laundry room for three months. It’s a pretty easy four hour shift doing industrial laundry and delivering clean towels to the areas. I later moved to kennels. The laundry shift is great in winter, it’s really warm with the big dryers. I left because a kennel tech cracked the shits at me for playing with a ‘red’ coded dog that I’d asked the lead tech about. The dog wasn’t aggressive but it was strong and would jump at people with an open mouth creating a bite risk. I’m also a big strong dude so I was trying to help socialise the dog in a calm manner and the mid range tech came in an yelled at me without knowing the full story so I quit.

I don’t know much about careers and stuff but if they’re equally appealing you could go for whichever has the higher salary, so you have a bit more financial stability to change to the other one in future?
Or whichever offers experience to help you get into the other
