My area has a shortage of vet techs, yet all three clinics I’ve interviewed with are only offering minimum wage. I’d rather not commute to the next city if I don’t need to. Should I try to sell the ROI of hiring me at a liveable wage?

Well, in our clinic we pay much more than the minimum wage to the veterinary technicians, their work is not easy and the truth is that without their trained help our work would be basically impossible, we could not help as many animals as we wanted, we do not currently have vacancies but I know of several clinics that pay well and are looking for people in your field of work, try using Linkedin for the Alabama sector.

Of course, it shouldn't be the case, but if you know what you're worth, you must demand it from your employer before hiring you, so they will take into account many things that they may not be seeing about your work, I wish you luck, friend.

I started with minimum wage in the clinic where I currently work, but over time they saw my job and several times they have increased me, recently they hired a new veterinary technician and I was involved in the whole process, I demanded that he be offered better pay because our work must be respected.
