i'm a prevet student - i'm a junior in undergrad, going to apply to vet school next year.
a good job to work in high school would be with a veterinarian - and don't settle for just a filing or secretary job either (i know for a fact that many vets allow high schoolers to do more hands-on work, especially if they know you want to be a vet). if you can't work with a vet, at least try to work with a kennel owner or breeder or farmer or someone who works with animals! getting involved in 4-H looks good on your record too (does texas have 4-H??). and get involved in a lot of extra-curricular activities and community service groups too, b/c those look good on an application to vet school and college. vet schools also like to see that you have interests besides science (makes you a more well-rounded person).
i think there are 30-40 different vet schools in the country - 1 in almost every state, or at least 1 in every region. some of the best are uc davis, purdue, cornell, tufts university...can't think of any more...there's also ross university, which i believe is in st. kitts in the caribbean - i don't know if it has much credit, but it sure would be awesome to study in the caribbean!!
veterinarians make between $60,000-70,000 per year.
hope this helps!

honey, I think the first thing you should do is try working at a petco for summer OR (even better!) volunteer at an animal shelter.
What you do after high school does not concern money, but what you really enjoy doing. Yes money will be worked out, but that's not really important as a freshman in HS.
volunteer at a local pet shelter, you can put the hours you spend on an application for college and learn what its really like to deal with animals. Plus its FUN!!!
1. You can find out through your HS quidance counselor or online.
2. explain this better....
3. jobs: petco or animal shelter.

you should try to get a parttime job at at vet's office (reception or filing)...
working at pet stores gives you first hand opportunities to work with animals...
a job on a farm during summer vacation is also a great way to get experience with animals, the zoo is good too...
volunteering at animal shelters would be good for your resume/application in the future...
and finally if you can't do any of the above, see if you can work parttime or volunteer at a doctor's office or hospital for people...
sorry i don't live in the States so i cant help with the first 2 questions... good luck~~
