I looked into vet tech school a bit. I still wish I could do it... but honestly, I find the pay to be terrible everywhere. I'm in an area where jobs are still fairly good and pay is still sooo little. I don't believe money is everything and I think it's important to be happy in your job but I also didn't want to be struggling all my life either. I ran into someone from high school who was waitressing my table and she told me it was her 3rd job because she went to school to be a vet tech and couldn't afford living on her own with just that salary. Sooo... it kind of scared me off. I think some vets you can get better pay but everything I've read online says even vet techs who have been doing the job for 10+ years are still making the same amount of money and it's definitely not something you get into for the money or living comfortably. Sorry I don't have anything positive to say, lol. I hope someone else will. I really wanted to this for a while.
