Richard Cordova · Answer 2

The sentence that has correct punctuation is the following one: I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but I don't do very well in science and math classes.

Explanation:

The sentence above is the right answer because you should use a comma before the coordinating conjunction. When two independent clauses are joined with a coordinating conjunction (but, in this case), a comma is required before the conjunction. Otherwise, the sentence would become a run-on sentence.
