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. |
This is partly why I am scared, If I go back to school I want to find something that I will be able to take care of myself. Reason being I agree, money isn't everything but when I went to school to do hair, I LOVED it! But because it has been so stressful money wise, It is hard having a positive attitude about it.
