To go to vet school, or not
Hi all. I’ve been a veterinary assistant at a GP clinic for about 3 years after I graduated with a BA in biological sciences. I love what I do, but I’m exhausted and underpaid and can’t imagine being a tech forever. In a perfect world, I would go to vet school and pursue a specialty but I’m very concerned about the debt:income ratio, the burnout during school, and how difficult it is to even get into vet schools. I also think I’m missing some prerequisites, I’m terrible at standardized testing, I have no relationships with my college professors (for letters of recc), and I wouldn’t want to go far from my aging family (I also have a dog and it would be difficult to travel with her). How did y’all decide whether to go or not? Especially after working as a tech for a few years after undergrad.
