The average income of veterinarians in private practice was $57,500 in 1995. The starting salary of a veterinarian is somewhere around $23,000 per year nowadays. But veterinarians in more established careers make around $40,000-$60,000. But those who work for the federal government (meat inspectors) are considered to make less.
Veterinarians also require much more education to be what they are. There are 27 colleges in 26 states that meet veterinary medicine accreditation standards. The required G.P.A. to get into a veterinary college is from a 2.5-3.2. Veterinarian students usually complete about a 4-5 year program in college. But some colleges require that students complete at least 2 years of general college. While in veterinary college students do laboratory work in anatomy, biochemistry, and other scientific and medical subjects. To become a full service veterinarian you have to acquire a D.V.M or a degree as a doctor of veterinary medicine. After you acquire a D.V.M. students must pass an examination from the state board of veterinarian licensing. …show more content…
The veterinarians have longs hours and difficult shifts. Most veterinarians are on call most days, if something goes wrong then they must report to the job. The veterinarians must know hundreds of treatments for sick or injured animals. But some animals just cannot be saved, so they have to be euthanized (put to sleep). Some of the jobs a veterinarian does are: he cures diseases, mends broken bones, and gives birth to animals. A vet does all of his/her activities in many rooms. A main veterinary hospital consists of an examining room(s), a x-ray room, a kennel room with dog run, and a surgical room.
