Q. Other than a vetirinarian and veterinary technician ( I heard they get paid only $10-$15 per hour) what are some other good paying jobs in the veterinary field? And how much do they pay?Also, what kind of schooling would they require?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
I knwo veterinarians make good money, but with the years of school required and the cost of education it seems unrealistic.

A. I'm pre-vet and I'm going to specialize in equine veterinary science (treating horses). Depending on your location and area of specialty, you can make anywhere from $50,000 - $200,000/year. Kentucky, California, and Florida are among the most horse-populated states in the country. Oh, and regular small animal vets make much more than $10-$15/hr. I'm not sure about vet techs, though.
What is the difference between a veterinary technician and veterinary technologist?
Q. I am planning on starting school to be a veterinary Technician in March but I am a little bit unclear as to what the difference is between "technician" and "technologist." Are they really two different jobs, or just two titles for the same duties?
Also, what do you have to do to be able to get a national license, as opposed to a state license, if it's possible? TIA

A. The difference is the amount of education. A person with an associates degree in veterinary technology is termed a "veterinary technician" while a person with a bachelors degree in veterinary technology is a "veterinary technologist". However no state offers a credential (licensure, etc) as a veterinary technologist. No matter which degree, a person who has earned credentials is called a Licensed/Certified/Registered Veterinary Technician by the state credentialing agencies and the laws. They also tend to do the same duties as there are no legal seperation between the two types of degree holders.
As for getting a national license, that doesn't exist. Each state writes it's own laws and regulations governing veterinary technicians (and veterinarians) and holds the right to only credential people who meet their requirements for work in that state. Credentials also do not automatically transfer from state to state for this reason.

What is the veterinary admissions board looking for in the personal statement?
Q. I am a senior in animal sciences and I am in the process of applying to veterinary school. I am currently writing my personal statement, and I am a bit baffled on what to write exactly since there are so many different approaches I could use to write the essay. Does anyone have any advice, or perchance is anyone on an admissions board of sorts and wants to give me some insight?? Thanks!
A. Believe it or not they want a personal statement. Something about you, what makes you special? What will you bring to the class? Have you done unusual volunteer work (like at a zoo)? Have you travelled? Are you published?
They also want to know what your goals are. Will you focus on large animal veterinary medicine? Small animal? Work for the ASPCA? Be concise. This is also going to be a measure of your writing skills.
