Your advice for me

You should check into working as a vet tech at a University. I work at Oklahoma State University and can tell you that they pay their techs well (more than you make now), plus it would be a State job with good leave benefits, Health Benefits, teachers retirement benefits, and oppurtunity to grow. While they do like the people who get the certificatation, it's not required. You have a good chance of being hired with experience. You aren't far from OKC so maybe you should check into what OU or some of the other OSU OKC extension offices have to offer, or some of the other colleges around. Good luck!

I am sure you have to have a degree haha

Did you read what she wrote?

Plus, certification is not a degree. It's something you could work toward while working. Plus, you would probably get a great deal on tuition, and work on getting a degree and the associated opportunities for advancement and more dough.

I was just stating that because it seems to good to be true........................

I was just asking because it seems to good to be true, I know she would never say anything that is not true but again I figured making it clear to myself would help me out in the long run...

Huh? :huh:

Why do you need to get snippy?

Not snippy. Just pointing out that she had mentioned that you do not have to have a degree.

Oh yeah, the veterinarian had his wife working with him

I had his wife AND his mother. *shudder*

You really don't always. Search the job online and it tells you. The only reason I know is because I was interested in that at one point and a lot of the jobs do not require it.
