Business
The fast-paced veterinary world keeps veterinary technicians on their toes. As a vet tech, your day could involve assisting with surgeries, educating clients about new pets, washing dogs, dispensing medication for a patient and assisting a pet hit by a car – all before lunch.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the demand for veterinary technicians and technologists will grow more quickly than the supply of graduates of veterinary technology programs. In other words, the employment outlook for veterinary technicians will be excellent in the years ahead.
