Are you going to be a speciality vet? Such as Avian or all kinds of animals?
I'll usually be working with smaller animals like the ones people keep in their houses, but there will be periodic calls to farms in the area where i'll live when i'm finished with school for cattle births, injured horses, etc.
What kind of degree? How many years will it take total?
Its a bachelors. It'll take about six years once I get a fairly decent savings. I'll still have to work during though. Simply can't afford full time classes these days.
Will the bachelor's fully qualify you to work with animals, or will it be a beginning? Is the path to be a full-blow veterinarian or a vet tech or something in between?
Its an in between kind of thing. Its kind of like the difference between a doctor and a nurse practicioner in people medicine. Most of my money will come from being a zookeeper. Most of my satisfaction will come from providing medical care to animals as a vet tech.
