I’ve been looking into continuing my education. I’m a certified veterinary assistant (worst mistake ever), and I’m thinking about starting my prevet courses, and becoming a CVT on the way so I have a guaranteed job. Anyone know if this is possible?

Of course it is possible, and I am even sure that your experience as a veterinary assistant will be very important for success in your profession. You understand the practice, it's time to polish the theory. I wish you much success.

I'd be interested in hearing more about why you think that was the worst mistake ever?

It's certainly never too late to try to make this switch. Best of luck!
