| National Veterinary Technician Week Techs are generally underpaid (some close to minimum wage); and they put up with crap everyday. They deserve a big thank you.

| They do deserve recognition. The techs at my vets office are always so nice to us when we are there. |

| Oh that's good to know! I drive past my vet's office daily - so I'm going to pop in this afternoon and express my gratitude for all they do.

| I brought my vet tech flowers this morning when we went for Max's appointment. She had no idea it was a National holiday!

Chocolate!!! It's probably not well known. Twelve to fourteen dollars an hour is pretty average. So get a bit more. Many get less. I met two recently. One was thinking about going into nursing. She loves her job, but it's not enough to live on. The other works two jobs (one tech position during the day and another overnight at an ER facility) to get by. And then there are vets who don't make nearly enough too. I know one of them graduated vet schools 17 years ago and is still paying student loans! Not uncommon.
