You'll always be able to find a job as a vet. Even more so if you want to specialize in large animals, there has been a shortage in that specialty for quite some time. You mention getting a BS in Animal Science anyway, there's typically a "pre-vet" option in the Animal Science curriculum that combines the intensive natural science course that you'll need w/ the typical ag courses. Be prepared though, A LOT of people apply for Vet School, VERY FEW are accepted. Just get the ASI degree w/ the pre-vet option that way if you get in to Vet School, great, if not, or if you decide that's not what you want to do, you still have the degree you wanted anyway and can start farming after that. Then you'll still have the degree if you ever have or want to get a job off the farm.

You state that you still have some time to decide, that's not necessarily the case. Even in high school you should be taking every biology, chemistry, physics and math (at least through calculus 1) class you can, and the key part, do well in them. In addition, they will tell you whether or not you have the brains for Vet School. Those classes are easier than they will be in college, and you'll need pretty much all A's in those college classes to even be considered for Vet School. I'm certainly not trying to dissuade you, just be aware of what is entailed.

I'm assuming you mean Oklahoma State, so here's a link, there's also some information on the pre vet option on the Dept. of Animal Science Website:
