Well, It does depend on the area of the country (US). Most veterinarians average between 50-70K a year. In you larger more populated states that is of course higher, but so is the cost of living. This may sound like alot to some, but considering the cost of veterinary school is similar to medical school it really isn't a large salary for the level of education and dedication needed to become a veterinarian. Unfortunately people relate what they think a veterinarian gets paid to what their vet bill is. Because we are use to supplemented human medical costs due to insurance the general public does not have a realistic understanding of actual medical cost and therefore think vets are taking advantage of them. That is why people are shocked at a high veterinary bill and believe the veterinarian must be getting rich at their expense. Vets work long hours and often shortchange legitimate charges because of their compassion for the animals. On the other hand veterinary specialist (surgeons, oncologist, dermatologist, neurologist, cardiologist etc...) make more, but required at least an additional four years of specialized training.

Probably not as much as you think. Most vets work for someone else and they get a biweekly or monthly check. If they own their own practice, they pay themselves out of the profits, but only after the staff, utilities, drugs, mortgage or rent, office supplies, etc are paid. They certainly don't make anywhere near an MD.

Depends on what they charge and actually collect. The vet I worked for didn't charge outrageously to clients. We barely broke even every month after paying all bills and the employees checks. He did it cause he loved animals and the money wasn't all that important to him.

Far too much for the mistakes they often make. They are like doctors and they make money because animals are sick, the longer they remain sick the more the vet makes. They have no real incentive to make your pet well cause they know you won't be back for more than vaccinations if your pet is well. They can't live on that alone.
