Veterinary school

3 Answers  I'm going into high school next year, and this may be a little early for me to start thinking about colleges, but I would like to become a vet when I'm older. No not a vet tech, just a regular vet that does surgerys, check ups etc. I want to go to a good school, and I'm confused about the things. I checked on website and all seeing about the salary and how many years it takes to graduate, but they are all different. Please help me, I would like to know what schools are good, how many years, a vets yearly salary and if its a good salary, tuition for schools and if people are happy in the field. I love animals so I think it would be happy, but I would like to see how it is. Help ! I would like to be on top of things and have a good future. And also, if vets working for the ASPCA or animal cruelty hospital get paid a diff. Salary; Thanks a lot =) |

| Income as in every field will depend on where you are at, New York treating rich peoples puppies or in Texas looking after cattle. Are you going to work for a government agency, work for a large vet firm or buy your own private practice As in all fields you have to do a job you enjoy | ||||

| Okay here is the reality check you are waiting for. Going to vet school is basically doing pre-med at a 4 year college. It is HIGHLY competitive, and a lot of students never make it. If you are really serious about attending a vet school, just know the extreme schooling it takes, the long number of years, and the hard competition you must go through as an undergrad taking the premed classes and getting the A's you need to even be considered for admission to a vet school. There are about 32 vet schools in the nation, and most of them are even HARDER to get into if you do not live in their state. So if you are really serious about this, you must REALLY understand what you are getting yourself into and not be as concerned about money as you seem to be. Money should not be the main priority in such a field you say you want to pursue. Good luck! | ||||
