at least you only need 2 years of college to become a vet asst. veterinarians need a lot more college.

I love animals more than people and I'm happy cleaning kennels rather than working with snippy ass Doctors!

To be clear, due to some of the incorrect comments I've read here - there is a BIG difference between a Vet tech and a Vet assistant. A vet tech. is the position that requires you to go to school accredited by the AVMA as well as pass a national exam to be qualified to work as a Vet Tech. A Vet assistant however, does not require formal schooling, and you learn as you are on the job. A Vet assistants job duties involve more of the mundane tasks such as : cleaning the cages, etc.

I liked this video for the Veterinary Technician, but my opinion is that some of this info is lacking. I looked around and you can find much more helpful Veterinary Technician information at - theveterinarytechnician . com
