what do i need to do?

Question

i was thinking about going to school to be a vet tech. what do i need to do?

Answer 1

If you are over 16 years old, try to volunteer for a day or two at a vet hospital so you can see a little of what goes on. If you like it, then most states have a vet tech program at one of the colleges. You can find most of them online. Some colleges have on-line, or distance training programs that are excellent.

Answer 2

You can get this training at a vocational school many times (aka; technology campus or vo-tech) or at a junior college.

I would arrange a visit to a campus that has the course offering and speak to the instructors of the program and see if they can give you an idea of the day in the life of.

If you're squeamish...you may not like it.

I know in the Junior College I asked about it, you actually had a dead cat that you did lab work on (you will disect and all) all through your first year.

As an ex-911 dispatcher, I could handle it, but some can't. However, I am allergic to formaldehyde...the stuff they preserve the animals in, so I could not attend.

Answer 3

Apply to a school, study, get good grades. Best of luck to you!! Why just go for Vet Tech, go for Veterinarian degree, you can do it!

Answer 4

If u have any experience maybe you shoul voluteer untill you do become a vet tech.for experience.Good luck in the future .

Ok, don't you know what your going to do? So, I advise you spend you time in Praying to the Lord and Study you Lessons if your still studying so that you will be graduated with honors.... K? and importantly help the household chores....

Answer 6

Talk to an advisor or counselor on your school, they can very much be of help.

Answer 7
