Hi all, I am having a very hard time trying to find out what would be the average wage (or at least min wage) a graduate vet should expect when I start work in Vancouver?

Thanks.

Nic

I would try contacting a few vets in Vancouver (if you want, PM me and I can point you to some good places to ask).

The average for Nova Scotia is ~$33/hour according to the career book my brother was given. That's all I know 😛

Erph. OP, /which/ Vancouver did you mean? British Columbia Vancouver or Washington Vancouver?

In 2005, the average hourly wage in BC was just over $40, according to this study published in CVJ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1950110/table/t1-cvj48pg971/; you can count on Vancouver being higher, especially 6 months later, but it will give you a starting point.

especially 6 months later

Obviously, I meant 6 years later
