I used to be a Vet Tech. I worked at a couple vets for a couple different Dr's.
The main thing is to like the Dr you are working for. The last vet I worked for was older, it was time for him to retire. He wasn’t in my eyes a good Vet anymore. He over charged people, didn’t care about the animals anymore. He was a real “jerk”. I think its an “ok” career, you do a lot for a little money. You work your butt of, on your feet all day, strain your back, have to deal with putting animals down, sometimes you have to deal with loosing an animal when you are assisting in a SX, you have to deal with people not wanting to get all the vaccines they are suppose to and then seeing the same dog come in with Parvo. BTW when a dog has Parvo it is the worse thing to see, plus when they poop its all bloody diarrhea, and the smell….omg you will never forget the smell, you have to see very sick animals, and deal sometimes with the owner not wanting to treat them.. Its A LOT to deal with emotional and physical. I think some can handle the job and others like me cant
