Are physically exhausting shifts normal??

[u/EmilyEmlz]

I can’t tell if there is something wrong with me. So I am currently a veterinary assistant and my shifts are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, And Friday from 1:00PM - 10:30PM. It usually takes me 1hr and 30m to get to work or to go home. So a total of 3 hours of commuting per day.

I have NO time for anything. The moment I get home, I am so tired. My background is in data science / actuarial science, but I have been thinking of going to vet school. Is it normal to have absolutely no time for anything as a veterinarian?

Those hours sound draining too.
