Vet Techs; Do you make 'enough' money?
I've been volunteering at a non-profit dog shelter for several months now and most of the employees are vet techs. Many of them work 2-3 jobs because as vet techs, they can't support themselves with that income alone, unfortunately.
While I would love to just become a vet tech (which is what I'm going to school for), we have to face the reality of rising costs of living, high gas prices, etc.
Anyway, my question to any vet techs out there -- do you make enough money? If you wouldn't mind sharing - what is your current salary, how long have you been a vet tech, and in what field do you work (ie zoo, shelter, clinic, ER, laboratory, etc)
Thanks very much in advance.
