Hello all, I’m kind of at a stand still in my life right now. I’m 24 yrs old, graduated with a degree in Animal Science 2 years ago and have been working minimum wage as a vet tech since. I have always wanted to go to vet school but would need to take ~6 more classes before I can apply. I already have $25k in student loans. I keep hearing “just apply u can get a better paying job because I have a degree” but no one will hire me. Maybe I’m applying to the wrong places?

Most clinics will only pay higher for an LVT. I have been an LVT for 9 years and was paid $22/hr before I moved up into management. A Veterinary degree will cost you around $500k when all is said and done. If you can get a job at a specialty clinic or ER you could make more hourly.
