My wife Eileen is a Vet Tech. She absolutely loves her job. She'd do it for free if I let her
From what she tells me:
Good - Helping animals, the joy that comes when you can save an animals life, the happiness it brings to their owners, learning new treatments, applying what she has learned while getting into breeding
Bad - dealing with owners that don't really care about their animals, mistreated animals, the sadness of an owner when they put their baby to sleep (for whatever reason), people that care more about money than the care of their animal, dealing/working with bad vets (although she hasn't had this issue at the practice she is at)
She is loved by her clients, they bring her gifts and ask for her by name because she remembers each and every one of them and their babies and she REALLY cares about each and everyone of them that walks through the door.
I'm quite sure there is much more but thats the top of the list.
