I’ve ridden horses most of my life and it’s why I wanted to become a vet. Now that I’m older, I’m not sure if equine is really the better choice over smalls. Which one usually has the better work/life balance?

Being a big animal vet is TOUGH. You're always on-call, covering large areas on your own, and horse owners are some of the worst clients. If work-life balance is your priority, I would definitely go for clinic work.

How do you address pay discrepancies? I just found out a VT hired a year after me, with less experience, is making $2 more an hour. She was hired when they were desperate for staff which I’m guessing is why, but I’ve felt bitter ever since finding out.
