"My ultimate goal would be to open my own animal clinic one day, as I want to control the prices of my services and provide affordable veterinary services to my community. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I feel that opening my own practice would also scratch that itch."

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The interviewers want to gain insight into your future plans as a veterinarian. If you are interested in opening your own practice, explain why business ownership appeals to you. If you do not have goals for opening a practice, explain why private practice is more interesting.
