Re: Veterinary Technician
I have been through two vet techs. The first one went to school in Glenwood Springs, Colorado for it. The second one OTJ'd and took the test. I also have a female friend who OTJ'd and took the test and became a licensed tech. Just have her check out various clinics and see how they do things. For the most part, if a person OTJs, they start out as kennel help, then they are shown more and more until next thing you know, they are techs. It seems to be a very rewarding career, most who get into it stay in it. I have also known techs who went back to school and became full fledged vetrinarians.<br /><br />My female friend who is a tech is going down for the Humane Society to help with Katrina animal victims. She is being paid by the animal hospital she works at to do this, it is really cool. She will do it for 10 days.
