Hi everyone! I am a student finishing up pre-reqs and will be ready to apply to vet school next june. I am a certified vet tech and have worked for a few different SA clinics over the years. I love working with animals and love that I get to learn something new every day at work, but I am struggling with my decision to become a vet. I have a few questions for everyone, some are more geared towards new grads and others to anyone who wishes to answer!
1. Are you glad you chose your profession? Do you enjoy your job and if so are there any aspects you don't enjoy?
2. I know everyone always says they don't go into vet med for the money but I was wondering how many people work on salary plus commission? If you do, do you like working like this and do you encounter a lot of competition between vets in the practice for patients?
3. New grads: are you struggling to find jobs? Are you finding your salary offers are what you anticipated?
Thanks for taking the time to answer some of these questions for me!
