Don't do this for the money.
Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
There is no money to be made in veterinary medicine if you work for someone else.
July 2016
Work of passion (lots of work, not paid well)
Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
Make sure that you have some financial back up- if you work at small animal practice you won't be able to pay your bills. Pet sitting is a great supplemental income...
March 2015
High stress, demanding yet sporadically satisfying/rewarding.
Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
Pros: I love working with animals and contributing to a better quality of life for them since they cannot help themselves. I love teaching owners about their pets and helping them to have a more enriching life with them. I love to work with xrays and other types of imaging. There is definitely a sense of comaraderie within the field as well.
Cons: Healthy euthanasias, some controversial procedures (ear cropping/declawing), neglect and abuse cases, non-compliant owners, rude people, deadlines/stress, low pay for amount of knowledge/work.
