Currently I am completing my final semester of my BSc Biology. My average is not great (around 80%) and I have no experience in a vet clinic yet since I only recently decided on the veterinary route. After I graduate this spring I have two options: a) Complete my masters with my previous honours project supervisor (study is on ionocytes, will take 2yrs) and then apply to vet school or b) Become a registered vet tech (takes 2yrs) and work for a few years, then perhaps apply to vet school afterwards. I'm moreso leaning towards the second option because I am a bit tired of the university scene right now and I feel this masters will be useless if I don't get into vet school soon afterwards. Becoming a vet tech will allow me to both earn some money to pay off my loans and do something I'm sure I will love, while also giving me experience in a veterinary clinic and allowing me to see if becoming a vet is really what I want to do. However, the salary of a vet tech is rather low so that kind of sucks and makes me uneasy if a vet tech is something I will end up being forever. Thoughts?
